      I see two ways how to fix this:
      1. somehow to predict, that next redirect will create a loop with previous one (kind of hard, otherwise would be fixed some time ago).
      2. don't perform redirect to "no permission" template and allow admin to see all kinds of data, that normally would lead to "no permission" template redirect.

      2nd case won't affect direct permission checking inside tags, where redirect is not performed. Also for 2nd case in all places where redirect to no permission template could take place we should not perform it and continue with data processing like in case if user actually has permission to perform requested action.

      Description

      All actions should be done in catalog in administrative console.

      1. Create any section with Pending status under Directory section.
      2. Place Active/Pending link there.
      3. Click on "View in Browse Mode" link.

      There will be redirect loop and that is guaranteed by 2 circumstances:
      1. when not owner is visiting pending link, then he is redirected to no permission template.
      2. When viewing pending/disabled category then he is redirected to no permission template.

      During redirect to no permission template category is kept, and is asked on no permission template itself resulting infinite redirect loop.
