When a non-root user tried to access the EVPN section, the API was
returning a "403: permission check failed" error. To fix this, explicit
permission checks have been added for the `/zones`, `/vnets`, and
`/controllers` endpoints.

Now, every authenticated user can access these endpoints however, the user
must have at least the Resource.Audit permission under `/resource`.
Remotes are also filtered based on the user’s access. Lists will only be
fetched from remotes for which the user has at least the
`Resource.Audit` permission on `/resource/{remote_name}`.

[pdm-devel] [PATCH datacenter-manager 1/3] fix #6901: api: add explicit permission check for controllers list

[Shan Shaji]

When a non-root user tried to access the EVPN section, the API was
throwing "403: permission check failed" error. To fix this, add
explicit permission check for the `/controller` endpoint.

Now every authenticated user can access the endpoint however, the user
needs to have at least `Resource.Audit` permission under `/resource`.
Only the controllers from remotes which the user has `Resource.Audit`
privilege on `/resource/{remote_name}` will be included in the returned
list.

Thanks @Stefan for the review. Got it, Thank you for explaning it. 
I think it would be better to implement it in another patch series.
WDYT?

Re: [pdm-devel] [PATCH datacenter-manager 0/3] fix #6901: allow non root users to access the EVPN dashboard

[Stefan Hanreich]

We might want to to reimplement more granular permissions as well, while
we're at it. Guests have /remotes/<remote>/guest/<vmid> for instance to
allow setting permissions on a per-guest level.

Imo, nothing speaks against implementing permissions the same way as SDN
currently does, which would then be on PDM side:

/remote/<remote>/sdn/zones/<zone>
/remote/<remote>/sdn/zones/<zone>/<vnet>
/remote/<remote>/sdn/controllers/<controller>

[Shan Shaji]

When a non-root user tried to access the EVPN section, the API was
returning a "403: permission check failed" error. To fix this, explicit
permission checks have been added for the `/zones`, `/vnets`, and
`/controllers` endpoints.

Now, every authenticated user can access these endpoints however, the user
must have at least the Resource.Audit permission under `/resource`.
Remotes are also filtered based on the user’s access. Lists will only be
fetched from remotes for which the user has at least the
`Resource.Audit` permission on `/remote/{remote_name}`.
