AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, restrict access to users who require the Fleet privilege and monitor for unauthorized access attempts to sensitive proxy configurations.

Description

A lower privileged user who holds only the privilege to read agent policies can read the entire configuration of a configured Fleet proxy. This would normally require the Fleet privilege to read settings.The proxy configuration possibly contains proxy authentication credentials and private key material that they should not be authorized to view.
