Are users allowed to install GRASS addons in actinia?

[veroandreo]

Among other addons, I'd like to install v.strds.stats to be able to easily query a STRDS with a vector of polygons. However, using ace (I didn't find an actinia endpoint), I get:

ace location="latlong_wgs84" grass_command="g.extension -l"
https://actinia.mundialis.de//api/v1/locations/latlong_wgs84/processing_async_export
{'version': '1', 'list': [{'module': 'g.extension', 'id': 'g.extension_1804289383', 'flags': 'l', 'inputs': [{'param': 'operation', 'value': 'add'}, {'param': 'prefix', 'value': '$GRASS_ADDON_BASE'}]}]}

Is this a user permission problem?

If g.extension was allowed it might make it possible to send addon-like python scripts to actinia which IMHO is easier and more flexible than creating the json processing chains (I have no knowledge about security though).

[anikaweinmann]

User are not allowed to install own addons. This will not be changed for security reasons.

In the module plugin we want to add an endpoint to install official GRASS GIS addons for a user.

[juleshaas]

The endpoint is created in #26. Tests still need to be done in separate PR.

[anikaweinmann]

Tests will be created in #27.
