Description

In production environments, the Cluster Manager cannot be exposed to all users as-is, because it contains operations which can change the state of Pinot. The goal is to add basic authentication and have roles like admin and read-only.

We need to begin by enabling security on the controller port, and then make some UI changes to add login.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing authentication mechanisms in Pinot and identify the controller port configuration. Plan to add basic auth and role based access for admin/read only roles. Consider implementing a login UI.
