Hi Salmaan, Solr's RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin allows requests through if none of the specified permissions apply. I think that's what you're running into in your example above. If you want to lockdown a particular API (or set of APIs) then you need to explicitly add a permission that restricts those APIs to a particular role.
One way to get the behavior that it sounds like you're looking for would be to add a catch-all permission at the bottom of your permissions list that restricts all other APIs to "admin". This would look a bit like: "permissions":[ { "name":"security-edit", "role":"admin" }, { "collection": ["Collection1", "Collection2"], "name": ["update", "read"], "role": "dev" }, { "name": "all", "role": "admin" } ] Hope that helps get you started.
