Feanil Patel f2bb6cb2e6 fix: CourseLimitedStaffRole should not be able to access studio.
We previously fixed this when the CourseLimitedStaffRole was applied to
a course but did not handle the case where the role is applied to a user
for a whole org.  The underlying issue is that the CourseLimitedStaffRole
is a subclass of the CourseStaffRole and much of the system assumes that
subclesses are for giving more access not less access.

To prevent that from happening for the case of the CourseLimitedStaffRole,
when we do CourseStaffRole access checks, we use the strict_role_checking
context manager to ensure that we're not accidentally granting the
limited_staff role too much access.

CMS
===

This directory contains code relating to the Open edX Content Management System ("CMS"). It allows learning content to be created, edited, versioned, and eventually published to the `Open edX Learning Mangement System <../lms>`_ ("LMS"). The main user-facing application that CMS powers is the `Open edX Studio <https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/educators/concepts/open_edx_platform/what_is_studio.html>`_
