Description

During MesosCon EU 2017, benjaminhindman came up with a neat abstraction called ObjectApprovers which go a long way into streamlining and unifying the authorization used within mesos. However, these patches became stale afterwards.

Given the benefits of such logic, we should really make the effort to land these patches.
