Storefront updates

The Storefront has been revamped quite significantly as well. We have added many new amazing features for enterprise and business solutions.

Here is the list of the most essential Storefront changes:

We added permission-based authorization to our storefront that allows users to check permissions and roles defined in the platform.

[Authorize(SecurityConstants.Permissions.CanEditUsers)]

Reworked API for working with lists
Completely reworked authentication/authorization system to work independently from the Core module API. This allows using custom security settings (password strong, or lockout policy) separately of the platform settings.
