   # [DRILL-7561](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7561): Document authentication for REST API
   
   ## Description
   
   Add documentation for current and near-future REST API authentication / authorization mechanism.  This didn't seem to be clearly documented before - the documentation mostly seemed to assume the drill server did not require and authentication.
