      Summary:

      With the recent introduction of the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) feature, there has been a significant change in how content duplication permissions are handled.

      Under the current model, users with only "View content permission" cannot programmatically duplicate or copy content from one space to another. Instead, they must possess the "Add content permission" to perform this action. 

      Rationale: Before the introduction of RBAC, users could easily duplicate content without needing the "Add" permission. The current restrictions may hinder workflows that rely on programmatically copying content, especially for users who only need to duplicate content without adding new items.

      Current Behavior:

      • Users with only the "View content permission" are restricted from duplicating content across spaces.
      • To duplicate content, users must have the "Add content permission."

      Proposed Enhancement:

      • Allow users with a specific combination of permissions (e.g., "View") to duplicate content, even if they don't have the full "Add" content permission.
