   Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

   

   As you can see, this solution worked as expected, but it still has a big concern. The idea of using user email and checking their permission will not prevent malicious people from using an admin email, which can be easy to get with social engineering, and use programs like Insominia or Postman to get the same response as an unprotected endpoint.
