Getting Data In

Which REST API to use to check user access to a specific app?

Current I am using "authentication/current-context" endpoint to check the roles of current user, and check if "admin" is one of it. This way is not very flexible as we do not want to always use an admin account to edit the app.

Meanwhile, in the UI or via CLI, we are able to grant R/W access to different roles for each app. Wondering if there is another endpoint to check the roles that have R/W access for a specific app? If we can get the information, we can have better access control without using admin accounts.
