Enable Apache Kafka® REST proxy authorization#

Aiven for Apache Kafka® services have Apache Kafka® REST proxy authorization disabled by default. To enable or disable this functionality using the Aiven CLI, follow these steps:

To enable Apache Kafka REST proxy authorization for a service, replace the SERVICE_NAME placeholder with the name of the Aiven for Apache Kafka® service in the Aiven CLI:
```
avn service update -c kafka_rest_authorization=true SERVICE_NAME
```
You can similarly disable the Apache Kafka® REST proxy authorization using:
```
avn service update -c kafka_rest_authorization=false SERVICE_NAME
```
