The pub-admin permission is required for any access to the publication server.

Currently, access to the api/v1/pub path requires the pub-admin permission. Other permissions are required for the APIs below. This conflicts with the other admin permission which only are required for specific administrative operations.

I think this is a mistake, but even if not, we should consider consistent naming.

Prior to 0.9.0 it was indeed not so, so yes I think this is a mistake.
