I don't think we should define Spree::AdminPanel in spree_core, and then use it only in spree_backend. Maybe a cleaner version would be checking whether there's a :read permission on Spree::Admin (which is already a module defined in spree_backend)?

Also, maybe this authorize could be moved to the Admin::BaseController, and we could handle the redirection to 404 page manually there?

render status: 403
end

What do we need this one for? I think this will also change the behavior of other controllers, right?

In Spree::Core::ControllerHelper::Auth there is access handling (which I guess fires when we are denied access to a reserce):

rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |_exception|
    redirect_unauthorized_access
end

which created theoretically infinite loop of redirecting to /admin/forbidden, being denied access, redirecting to /admin/forbidden... Which resulted in error:

I decided that plain 404 error page is more clear, so I overwritten said rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied
