vincbeck opened a new pull request, #36871: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/36871
Currently the menu in Airflow UI is using the filter [is_menu_visible](https://github.com/dpgaspar/Flask-AppBuilder/blob/master/flask_appbuilder/filters.py#L133) to display or not each menu item. Each call to `is_menu_visible` calls [has_access](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow/www/security_manager.py#L124) which then call an `is_authorized_` method from the auth manager used in the environment. Most likely, all auth managers (with the exception of fab) will call an external service for every `is_authorized_` method. Today, displaying the menu call 26 times an `is_authorized_` method which can be very expensive and make the Airflow UI slower. Introducing `get_permitted_menu_items` which is responsible of returning the menu given user permissions can replace these 26 calls to one (if the service used by the auth manager is capable of multiple authz requests in one API). <!-- Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements.
