A segmentation of authorization such that some users can access API Catalog without being authorized to access the Metrics Service.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping how APIML currently authorizes access to the API Catalog and Metrics Service, then define the permission boundaries and configuration needed for separate access. Done means users can access the Catalog without Metrics Service authorization, while existing all-or-nothing behavior is covered or intentionally changed.
