Open-source DefectDojo 3.x has local accounts and per-Asset / per-Organization Authorized Users lists, with no roles, groups, global roles, SSO, LDAP or MFA. Several open-source pages and the README still described those features or linked open-source readers to Pro permission pages. - README: replace the OAuth2/SAML2 and LDAP links (both now redirect to archived or Pro pages) with a plain statement of what each edition supports. - Editions table: "basic RBAC" becomes "per-Asset access lists"; the Pro column lists SSO, LDAP, MFA and role-based access control. - Open-source user, asset, organization, environment and regulation pages: point to the Open-Source Permissions page instead of Pro role pages, drop "global role" references, and remove the MFA steps and MFA recovery section that remained in the translations. - Remove readme-docs/AVAILABLE-PLUGINS.md (unreferenced, listed SAML, LDAP and MFA plugins). All seven translations updated to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description
Since 3.0, open-source DefectDojo has local accounts plus per-Asset and per-Organization Authorized Users lists. It has no roles, groups, global roles, SSO, LDAP or MFA. Several public surfaces still said otherwise:
get_started/about/defectdojo_versions) said open source has "basic RBAC". It now says "Local accounts and per-Asset access lists", and the Pro column lists SSO (SAML, OIDC, OAuth), LDAP, MFA and role-based access control.No behavior changes.
