Use the glide.sc.request.add_item_write_access property to prevent unauthorized operations from being performed on catalog items.
When the glide.sc.request.add_item_write_access system property is not set to true, any logged in user can access the Add Catalog Item UI page. This could result in
unauthorized operations performed on catalog items.

Set glide.sc.request.add_item_write_access property to true.
