It's not good to have ckanext doing lots of different things with different dependencies. Split it off into:

• ckanext-importlib

etc.

And then deprecate the ckanext repo itself.

The problem is that in ckan/controllers/rest.py the BaseApiController? has this method:

    def __before__(self, action, **env):
        BaseController.__before__(self, action, **env)
        if not self.authorizer.am_authorized(c, model.Action.SITE_READ, model.System):
            abort(401, _('Not authorized to see this page'))

which works on the basis of your c.user, rather than your apikey. All API users are treated as visitors (since API users don't get a login cookie) and even a sysadmin's apikey is blocked unless there is a right for a Visitor to SITE_READ.

Also needs tests.

(Also, why is this restriction only on the API, package search, group index and tags and agroup index? I'm guessing SITE_READ is only for places where other authz don't apply, but maybe it should not be called 'SITE_READ' but 'OTHER_READ' or something?)

returns group IDs but I can only reach a group by name:

when I also want to get a group by ID:
