Security fixes

BEE-174 RBAC permissions bypass

An issue with the RBAC authorization made it possible for users to view nested resources, even if they did not have permission to view the parent resources.

This issue has been resolved, and permissions are now checked on the parent container, in addition to the target container. Additionally, a new caching mechanism improves performance while browsing system resources.
