After successful login, users are redirected to the dashboard. The dashboard requires the `VIEW_PORTFOLIO` permission, and redirects back to the login page if that permission is not present. This could lead to redirect loops for users who lack the permission. Display a popup instead that informs the user about the lack of permissions to proceed.

Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes a redirect loop that occurred when authenticated users lacked the VIEW_PORTFOLIO permission. Previously, after successful login, users were redirected to the dashboard which required this permission, causing a redirect back to login and creating an infinite loop.
- Adds permission check immediately after successful authentication
- Displays an informational modal when users lack required permissions
- Prevents token storage and redirection for users without proper permissions
