Deny Unauthorized Access to Sensitive Endpoints

[evanslindsay98-ux]

Feature Description

Implement a robust mechanism to deny unauthorized or invalid access to sensitive endpoints and operations within the Authorizer system to improve security and protect critical user data.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Identify potential points in the codebase where unauthorized access could occur, especially in authentication, authorization, and sensitive data retrieval endpoints.
• Design, implement, and document logic to detect and prevent unauthorized access attempts.
• Add or update tests to ensure access denial mechanisms work as intended and cover edge cases.
• Update documentation to clearly describe the improved access denial approach.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Relying on existing middleware and checks (may miss new vectors or recent changes).
• Implementing a monitoring-only solution (would not block attacks in real time).

Additional context

This feature is essential for maintaining the integrity and security of the Authorizer system and protecting user data from unauthorized access or misuse.
