The code changes seem fine, but

  1. I don't think we want to group these 2 features under a family
  2. I don't think the behaviour we'll get (which is the same as we currently have) is actually what we'll want.

I guess we can tackle item 2 later, but probably need to decide on item 1 now so that we introduce stable names into the API.

I suspect authorization realms should be persistent.
They're "in use" by virtue of a setting on a realm, more than because someone authenticated using one. I think we would prefer to have them track the same way realms do (by configuration not active use).

I agree we should use explicit tracking, I'm just not sure all that will entail. At this point I'm just trying to remove remaining uses of XPackLicenseState.Feature so that there is no confusion or possibility of adding new values there for the life of 7.16.

I don't think bundling these under a feature family is meaningful (unless we bundle all of security under a common family).
Authorization realms and Authorization engines don't have any relationship with one another other than both being security features (and having similar words in the name).

Ok, I'll remove the family, the similarity of the name made me think they were related. With that in mind, is there a more descriptive name we can use for these? "security-authorization-realm" is going to be confusing with the security realms feature?

The public Yaml setting is authorization_realms, and the internal classes refer to it as DelegatedAuthorization

The docs uses both terms (they refer to the concept as "Delegating Authorization ...", but also reference the name of the setting.

My feeling was that authorization-realm[s] is more helpful because it ties into something tangible in the docs (a specific setting), but delegated-authorization would be fine.

I think the same is true for an AuthorizationEngine. It's a type of plugin, and I think we want to consider it to be in use any time one is installed in the cluster.

LGTM.
If you want to change the feature name from security-authorization-realm to security-delegated-authorization (or a variant on that) that's fine too.
