I'm using sailsjs sockets and I'm trying to find a way to add security to room events.

Basically I have a user collection with a 1-many relationship with a car collection.

I want to have my app listen to the create event when a user creates a new car, while making sure I'm not leaking create events by other users.

When I use Car.subscribe(req.socket) with 

Car.publishCreate({
  id: 3,
  color: 'blue',
  user: 1
})

all users who are listening to the Car model room receive updates.

I know that I can specify sockets to omit with a second parameter: Car.publishCreate( values, [socketToOmit] ), but with many users, this becomes pretty heavyweight.

Is there a simple way to notify/limit "create" events to a specific user in a model room?

In redis, there is a named Channel which supports subpub, you can push messages onto a named Channel ,such as ToJohn, and redirect sockets to get messages on that named Channel.

wish you luck.
