✨ Features

These are the primary features that are finished or currently being worked on:

• Protected your Get request populates and fields
• Allow you to protect routes per role

🤔 Motivation

The purpose of this plugin is to have a easy way to protect your get endpoints from getting to much information out of them. I made this plugin since I got sick and tired of writing complex policies to do this exact thing.
