Change the visibility of public product APIs for anonymous users in the DevPortal

As you know, there are 3 ways to configure the visibility of products when they are published in the catalog (Public/Authenticated/Custom). If products are published as Authenticated, customers' browsing is limited, forcing them to create a DevPortal account to view them.

It would help to open up some level of visibility for products, restricting access to the API page. In this way, customers will be able to see the products, their descriptions, the APIs contained and the plans without needing an account. To access the API documentation, their operations and endpoints they must create an account.

There are modules in Drupal that as administrators allow us to restrict access to certain content, but it does not work as we expected. We suspect that there is some APIC rule that takes precedence over the module configuration.

What we are looking for is to make the restriction of authenticated visibility more flexible, ensuring that clients have access to the product catalog, the details of each product, but not to the APIs that the product contains. This is to prevent attacks by exposing API consumption endpoints.
