Description

Expected Behavior

There should be a simple way of testing entry permissions for a user which is easier than using the py3 repl

Possible Solution

Dashboard section that lists all entries with auth records from newest to oldest, with checkboxes to select whether it should be tested, and then a textarea where one or more user identifiers can be added (whitespace-separated). Resulting list then shows each selected entry on a row, with columns per user.

Research direction

Start with the existing dashboard and py3 REPL permission-check entry points, then trace how entries with auth records are listed and evaluated. Define the dashboard flow for selecting entries and whitespace-separated user identifiers, and consider the work complete when results show each selected entry with per-user permission outcomes.
