We want to be able to restrict the creation of redirects to experienced users, or perhaps even to admins, since turning an item into a redirect is similar to deleting the item. Initially though, the item-redirect permission should be granted for all groups that have the edit permission. Checking the permission shall be the responsibility of the RedirectCreationInteractor.
