Description
There is a vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated user the ability to create questions, delete questions, delete threads, and delete users.
This could be accomplished by hitting each REST endpoint.
This commit adds in authorization for these endpoints. A user must be
logged in as an administrator to be able to perform these actions.

For this to work, a proper category ID and author ID must be specified.
