RBAC and specific role behavior for "agent management"

- Allow users to read the agents-list while not able to change loglevel or even reset/update every agent they like
- Allow users to view configuration while not being able to change it (i.e. show AP configuration but not alter it)
- Allow users to setup alerts only for APs for which they have access.

    • downloading and configuring agents are separate permissions already. No further granularity is planned

    • Application Perspecitives now have the Contribution filter to achive this (be able to edit/create within the contribution filter, only view other APs, including their config)

    • Individual Smart Alerts are only visible if the AP is visible. Global Smart Alerts are being changed to only show if at least one entity assigned is visible and only configurable if all entities assigned are visible for the user
