Transactions

pygeoapi supports the OGC API - Features - Part 4: Create, Replace, Update and Delete draft specification, allowing for transactional capabilities against feature and record data.

To enable transactions in pygeoapi, a given resource provider needs to be editable (via the configuration resource provider editable: true property). Note that the feature or record provider MUST support create/update/delete. See the Publishing vector data to OGC API - Features and Publishing metadata to OGC API - Records documentation for transaction support status of pygeoapi backends.

Access control

It should be made clear that authentication and authorization is beyond the responsibility of pygeoapi. This means that if a pygeoapi user enables transactions, they must provide access control explicity via another service.
