Describe the bug

Although a site admin is able to delete a collection, and is directed to the process page afterward for the asynchronous delete process, a community admin is not able to delete a collection in the community they have permissions for. A 403 forbidden error is thrown.

Reported on sandbox.dspace.org, 10.0 via Testathon (relevant to T216)
Does Not occur on demo.dspace.org, newly introduced in 10

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a Collection (of your creation or one that you know others are not actively testing with).
  2. Edit collection -> Click the Delete button.
  3. Error is thrown
  4. Open network tab to see 403

Expected behavior

The community admin should be able to delete a collection without issue.
