The "Query metric backend from custom graph editor" permission now restricts access to the graph view, edit, and AJAX endpoints. Previously, all users—regardless of this permission—could query the metric backend.

With this change, only users granted this permission are allowed to query the metric backend.

No action is required to benefit from this update.
