Thanks to the couple of people who reminded me this may not be a
frequently-used term on this list :-)
Role Based Access Control systems are a technique for limiting access to
resources based on people belonging to groups (roles) and not being granted
access individually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-based_access_control
In this case, the resources are URIs, potentially proxy_pass'd, and the
users are HTTP basic auth users. My implementation is nothing special, but
I'd not seen a reasonably scalable one implemented purely in declarative
nginx configuration syntax before :-)
Anyway, tell me why it sucks ... https://gist.github.com/jpluscplusm/9227777
