[Bug]: User seeing 'Permissions missing to save the configuration' when trying perform workflow action

[cancan101]

Expected behavior

Click

and then no error:

Actual behavior

Users are reporting seeing this error message when they select a workflow action:

which is odd, because this is the line of code I think is erroring:

data-hub/src/Configuration.php

Line 228 in f4b9b01

throw new \Exception('Permissions missing to save the configuration');

Steps to reproduce

Unclear

do you have a stack trace in the docs?
why would a workflow transition try to save a Datahub configuration?!

This is the stacktrace:
This happens for non admin users.

Strange thing, has been like that since ages. We need to investigate why though.
My first guess is to update the workspace definitions when a folder (or object) gets moved/renamed. But saving the whole configuration in that case also feels somehow wrong - especially when they are in yaml files and cannot be updated.

Related PR: #117

Any inputs welcome.

TL; DR Yes, it looks like Pimcore DataHub updates the object paths listed on Datahub workspace when an object moves.

A few thoughts:

1. This should not run on yaml files
2. This logic is in general a bit magical. Perhaps it should be an opt in setting on the workspace config. I had no idea this was even happening.
3. Are there performance concerns as the list of datahub configs grows? We have quite a few exporters and importers and I am getting worried at all of the logic that runs (synchronously) each time an object is updated (or moved) e.g. we are going to be moving 100k+ objects soon and I would like toe be reasonably fast
