Research direction

Start by reading the linked ClinEpiWebsite IndexController.jsx and DataRestrictionUtils.js, then locate the relevant index entry point in MicrobiomeWebsite. Determine whether the same permission-aware controller is needed and define completion as an agreed approach that does not rely on the cited short-circuit.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Clinepi uses a custom controller that allows it to use the study-data-access permissions functions. Should we add this here?

Currently we see no errors because of a short-circuiting in DataRestrictionUtils . Probably best not to rely on this method moving forward.
