📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe ACL inheritance endpoint now requires an authenticated user and conditionally applies ETAC graph filtering. Tests add user context, dogtag configuration, and an ETAC-enabled success case. ChangesACL inheritance endpoint
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The endpoint can perform graph lookups and ACL traversal before rejecting unauthenticated requests, allowing callers to distinguish object-existence errors and consume traversal work without authorization. Authentication should occur first; this is not merge-ready until corrected. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Authenticate before graph lookups.
Lines 138-143 run edge lookup, ACL path traversal, and display-kind retrieval before this check. An unauthenticated caller can distinguish graph lookup errors from the final 403, which exposes object existence and permits unauthenticated traversal work. Retrieve and reject the user before parameter-dependent graph access.

Description
Added ETAC filtering logic to /api/v2/graphs/acl-inheritance endpoint
Motivation and Context
Resolves BED-9120
Filtering was not being applied to users with ETAC enabled not restricting response data (cross-domain).
How Has This Been Tested?
Test written, also tested in Bruno.
