[Question] What application scopes will there be for extensions?

[peternied]

Background

Administrators need mechanism to control what extensions can do through Applications Scopes.

• [Question] How do administrators control what extensions can do? #2587

Problem statement

Extensions support a large set of functionality today, and will support even additional features in the future. What are the kinds of controls that Administrators of OpenSearch clusters can have, and how are they distinguished from one another?

Proposal

All Application Scopes should be human readable and a laymen can easily guess the features/functionality that is controlled by allowing / disallowing a scope. Scopes are separated into a top level namespace, then the feature area and latently an action, consider ?core.index:read?.
