Restrict permissions for CMDB model

Use the csm_cmdb_model.customer_visible_flag system property to limit customer access to data in the Product Models table as an additional access control to the CMDB model.

The csm_cmdb_model.customer_visible_flag system property is an additional access control to the CMDB model. If csm_cmdb_model.customer_visible_flag is not set to the recommended value of true, then any user with the sn_esm_user role and out of the box ACLs will have permissions to the CMDB model. Note that this role tends to be granted to external users.

Ensure that the property csm_cmdb_model.customer_visible_flag is set to true.
