------------------------------------
Feel free to whip up a patch. I have no immediate plan to start on this one.
> 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: Admin UI, Authentication, Authorization, security
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
