Hi all,

I am developing a rest api following this guide: http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/developing-in-modx/advanced-development/developing-rest-servers

How do I implement authentication?

This function returns true, there's no logic in it (core/model/modx/rest/modrestservice.class.php, line 102):

public function checkPermissions() {
return true;
}

Regards,
Alessandro

That's usually done like this:

return $modx->user->hasPermission('some_permission');

It assumes that the user is logged in in the front end and has a Context Access ACL entry for the front-end Context that gives them the specified permission.
