Improvements

Setup App

To support optional algo permissioning, Setup has added a new tab, "Algos" to the left navigation pane. Only algos that users submit for approval will appear in this section, and can only be approved by users with "Algo Approver" permissions.

As part of this enhancement, there are also two new checkboxes under User->Settings. The "Algo Approver" checkbox allows users to see the name of all algos that have been submitted for approval, and provides the option to "Approve" or "Unapprove" each algo. The second new checkbox, "Requires Permissions to Run Own Algos" controls whether users can deploy algos without requiring approval.
