 * In its purest form, this function MUST be present and return true. It works sort of like a prevalidation for additional criteria. 
 * I've done a little extra to make sure the user with admin routing is the admin:
 * If using admin route, ensure user is admin (group_id ==1). If not, don't authorize.
 * @access public
