add webservice definitions to FME Flow roles, so we can control who can access them, it seems if you use FME Flow as connection storage for FME Form, connections are controlled by roles, but anyone can see and use any webservice definition.  If I am wrong about this, then this idea can be dropped.

Hi ​@mferwerda3 , thanks for posting the idea. You have got it right, with respect to how permissions currently work, so this is worth keeping. There's no per-definition permission in the current model.

One question to help us scope this should it be prioritized: would you want to separately restrict who can view definitions and who can use them when creating connections, or have that controlled together?

I would think view, as to not confuse users with things that they cannot use, and if view also means seeing the parameters of the web service definition, then it would be better if they could not see that.  I know client secreta are visible in plain text, but some web services do not use a client secret to function.
