Insights
For instructions on how to authenticate to use this endpoint, see API overview.
Adds an "access_controls" action to the viewset that handles access control for the given resource
Why a mixin? We want to easily add this to any existing resource, including providing easy helpers for adding access control info such as the current users access level to any response.
