Description
The specification should provide recommendations about upload access to TUF repositories. An uploader should only be trusted to upload images that have been delegated to them, and in most cases they should not be allowed to replace images from other uploaders.
If developers are given unlimited upload access, they could create a denial of service by replacing valid images or metadata files.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Locate the specification section covering upload access for TUF repositories, then review how delegation and repository roles are currently described. Done means the specification gives clear recommendations that restrict uploaders to delegated images and prevent replacement of other uploaders’ images or metadata.
