Summary

Gates AppConfig fragment writes with RBAC (BA-6860, BEP-1052 / epic BA-5781), completing the write-authorization path whose data layer landed in #12801 (BA-6859). The interim fixed-scope _may_write service check is gone — authorization now runs on the standard RBAC validators at the processor layer.

How

• Processors: the RBAC validators are attached to the write processors only — create → scope validator, update/purge → single-entity validator, bulk_* → bulk validator; validators is passed through the factory. Read processors (get / admin_search / scoped_search) carry no validator.
• Resolution: a caller may write when their role grants the operation on APP_CONFIG_FRAGMENT in the fragment's scope — a user in their own user scope (system role, auto-provisioned at user creation; the fragment→scope association from feat(BA-6859): bind app_config fragments to their RBAC scope on write (repository layer) #12801 resolves update/purge targets), a domain admin in their domain, a superadmin anywhere. public fragments are global-scoped (no RBAC scope) → superadmin-only.
• Routes: fragment POST /, PATCH /{id}, DELETE /{id} move from superadmin_required to auth_required; handler/adapter methods drop the admin_ prefix. Read routes unchanged.

Notes

• Reads stay allowlist/visibility-gated (no RBAC on the read path) — see the access model below.
• No data backfill: the feature is unreleased, so no pre-existing fragments or write paths exist.
• bulk_* service paths are validator-gated but not yet API-exposed.

Access model: fragment create/update/purge are gated by RBAC (a user writes their own user-scope fragment, a domain admin their domain's, a superadmin any — public is superadmin-only); reads are gated by the allow list (existence = readable layer, rank = merge order) plus scope visibility, with no RBAC on the read path; app_config_definitions / app_config_allow_list themselves are superadmin-only (REST + GQL). Closed / superseded: #12794 · #12756 · #12764.
