I figured out you can disable the core admin in solr.xml, but then it breaks the admin as apparently it relies on that.

I tried tomcat security but haven't been able to make it work

I think as this point I may just write a query/debugging app that the developers could use

The Solr admin is really designed with trusted users in mind. There are no
provisions that I know of for securing some of the functions.

Your developers have access to the Solr server through the browser, right?
They can do all of that via URL, see: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin,
they don't need to use the admin server at all.

So unless you're willing to put a lot of effort into it, I don't think you
really can lock it down. If you really don't trust them to not do bad
things, set up a dev environment and lock them out of your production
servers totally?

I really like the new admin in solr 4.0, but specifically I don't want
developers to be able to unload, rename, swap, reload, optimize, or add
core.

Any ideas on how I could still give access to the rest of the admin
without giving access to these? It is very helpful for them to have access
to the Query, Analysis, etc.
