Hi all,  
We are developing application for home automation. We try to using node-red for automation flow configure now.

For devices, rooms in the house. We mapping to nodes and groups in node-red (automate, via api call from server). For end user, we allow them to edit logic only, eg. When door sensor detect door open, main light will be turn-on. They can not add more device (cause config device configure require too verbose/private info - for enduser).

After searching docs ([Admin API Methods : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/methods/)) and on forum, I found ([Add security to the flow or to a node](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/add-security-to-the-flow-or-to-a-node/65759)). I am thinking to implement ourself proxy that parse requests (that edit flow) then apply custom authorization based on payload.

The solution above sound kind of "try-hard".  
So any suggest better solutions from comuminity?!  
Thank so much,
