Securing workflow deployment?

Hi folks,

i am just working through the workflow examples in the famous Alfresco Developer Guide.
On exercising the "HelloWorldFork" example, i noticed that i can deploy a workflow using path /alfresco/jbpm/deployprocess without any kind of authentication? !  Smiley Surprised  Which in turn leads me to the conclusion that any dumb idiot would be able to deploy workflow definitions to an Alfresco server?
When i'm right, this would be a giant security hole, so is there some means to secure the deployer?

Greetings

I guess you dont!
I guess Jeff does the Job on using the Workflow-Console. This section is restricted to Admin-Users.

I agree, the access via workflow console is subject to the usual access control.

No, i was speaking about the deployment that happens from within Eclipse/GPD: this one does NOWHERE ask for a login, and i dont even see an input field for login credentials in the deployment tab?! And i really CAN deploy to my Alfresco test instance without any authorization  Smiley Surprised
