      Description

      Right now permission system in catalog is very sophisticated and allow to set per-category VIEW permissions. This allows, for example, to have a category which contains both links and articles, but some users can only view links, while others can only view articles.

      Overtime I saw only 2 projects, where this was really needed. More over it overcomplicates each SQL used to query data from Catalog by adding a permission check to it.

      That's why I'm proposing to create a setting, that would allow to turn on advanced view permission system when needed, which will be:

      • turned off by default for new installations
      • turned on for installations, that did an upgrade

      It will also solve a problem, described in INP-1191 task for installation, that don't need VIEW permissions in Catalog.
