Docs: Add prereqs to application security testing tasks
Problem to solve
In many (most?) cases, users should use custom roles to grant permissions for security-related tasks. The current AppSec docs don't generally tell users which permissions are required for a given task, or point readers to the appropriate SSOT.
Proposal
- Add prerequisites to all tasks under the Secure your application chunk of the docs.
- Add custom role information to each prerequisites section.
Checklists
I've linked to each page in the Application Security docs section below, roughly following the navigation order. I've omitted pages without tasks.
