Idea (feel free to indicate if it is out of scope).

Environmental variables were introduced to control access for entity

- It may be possible to replace these with the new URLChecker and simplify
the application. Or;
- show them as a URLChecker that cannot be disabled in the user interface
(to make it clear they are in play)
