Use 'manager' role to toggle visibility of 'My Managed APIs' link in sidebar; cleanup subscription

[brylie]

Currently, we are using a userHasApis template helper to toggle visibility of the 'My Managed APIs' link in the master layout sidebar. The helper performs a database query and returns true if there are any query results. This has required a subscription, which is 'polluting' other features and leading to some false assumptions about data availability.

Task

• Use the {{#if isInRole 'manager'}} helper to toggle visibility of My Managed APIs navigation menu link
• Remove the userHasApis helper
• Remove the myManagedApis subscription

@brylie I cannot find a way how we could do this without making query to ApiBackends.

[brylie]

@jykae when the user adds an API Backend, use the autoform onSuccess hook (similar to the onSubmit hook) to also add the user to the manager role.

In the migration script, get a list of all user IDs stored in apiBackend.managerIds arrays and add the users to the manager role.

See the alanning:roles documentation.

E.g.

Roles.addUsersToRoles(userId, ['manager'])

Ok, thanks. I will try this approach.

Works, PR #861 opened. Trying to provide migration script.
