Read only Access

  • Hi
    I’m building a system that distributes information to other sites at the moment using the REST API.
    At the moment I’m looking at authentication. OAUTH looks a bit of a nightmare to be honest, but as I only want to allow read access, with no access to PUT etc, can I just install the OAUTH plugin and not add in any users. Would that be enough to give me a ‘read only’ REST system, which is actually what I am after.
    I guess to put it another way, what does OAUTH actually authorise? Weirdly I haven’t been able to find this anywhere.
    Thanks
