GET /members/ID/books
also throws a 401 even with a legit access token with or without ALCs set. However, GET /books
works fine.
I thought that when posting with an access token that would get translated and automatically used on all the CRUD methods.
So if I had a access token XXX that was for Member with ID: 5 then...
POST /books -H 'Authorization: XXX' -d '{ "title": "Book Title" }
would create a book that looks like { "id": 1, "memberId": 5, "title": "Book Title" }
Then if I were to perform GET /books -H 'Authorization: XXX'
I would get ONLY the books with "memberId": 5
since they were the owner of the object and created it initially with their own access token.

So a Member has many Books. With this setup I can
GET /books
for ALL users with an access token for User-1 even though User-1 is only an "owner" of a few books with the relationship setup through "memberId". Unless I am understanding how ACLs and Relationships wrong.
