----------------------------------

             Summary: Make Admin UI aware of logged-in users permissions
                 Key: SOLR-13364
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13364
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Authorization, Admin UI, Authentication, security
            Reporter: Jan Høydahl


We should aim to add fine-grained permission checks to the UI. One way to do this is to add a new REST-endpoint {{/admin/login/whoami}} that is always open for all, and that responds with a JSON with current user's permissions. If no user is logged in it will respond with empty list and "No user logged in". Else it will respond with e.g.
{code:java}
{ "user": "john", "roles": ["superuser", "searcher"], "permissions": ["security-edit", "collectionadmin"...] }{code}
The Admin UI can then request this endpoint and cache the info, so that it may make decisions to hide/grey out certain menu options throughout the UI.
