> For security reasons customers might want to block remote access to root admin APIs or limit access to domain admin APIs to certain IP addresses.
> It can be easily done on WAF if we have separate API endpoints for root admin/domain admin/end user APIs. For example, in case of VMWare vCloud Director, APIs accessible only to system admins are under http://hostname/cloud/api/1.0/admin/extension and this can be easily blocked on a WAF.
> We should consider separating API endpoints for admin/end user APIs.
