Steps

Associating an Authorization Policy with Form Configuration is a two-step process:

Step 1: Create Form Configuration

name: update_last_name
resource: User
fields:
  last_name:
    validation:
      presence: {}
---
...

Step 2: Add authorization_policies key to Form Configuration

In order to associate the Authorization Policy with the form, add a new authorization_policies key, and then specify the array of policy names associated with this form.

To ensure that only Johns will be able to submit this form, update the configuration to include the policy:

name: update_last_name
resource: User
authorization_policies:
