[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>
