[jira] [Commented] (AIRFLOW-518) Require DataProfilingMixin for the Variables CRUD access

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-518?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15559562#comment-15559562 ]

[AIRFLOW-518] Require DataProfilingMixin for Variables CRUD

Many of us use the "Variable" model CRUD
(create/update/delete) as a k/v
store to power frameworks that read these values
to dynamically generate
pipelines.

With the basic "LoginMixin" role (lowest level of
access to Airflow)
having access to the Variable CRUD, people could
easily alter a Variable
to run arbitrary code on the platform, depending
on how variables are
use in that environment.

It's a safer bet to elevate CRUD on Variable to
DataProfilingMixin, and
make sure that the lowest level of access cannot
interfere with these
Variables.

Closes #1804 from mistercrunch/elevate_variables
