Trying to add a new policy to users-permissions plugin.

Created a file called user-create.js under extensions/users-permissions/policies

Contents of file:
``
module.exports = async (policyContext, config, { strapi }) => {
console.log(‘Should be creating a user’);
};

module.exports = {
routes: [
{
method: ‘POST’,
path: ‘/auth/local/register’,
handler: ‘auth.register’,
config: {
policies: [‘plugin::users-permissions.user-create’]
}
}
]
}
``

Logic never fires when a user is registered using REST api (Postman)

Hi, I think you can’t create files like that, you have to write code in strapi-server.ts.
To modify users-permissions routes or controllers you can do this :
In my example, I identify the route by path and add a new custom policies

--> src/extensions/users-permissions/strapi-server.ts

module.exports = (plugin) => {
  const routes = plugin.routes["content-api"].routes;

  routes.forEach(({ path, config }) => {
    if (path === "/auth/local") {
      config.policies = ["global::has-subscription"];
    }
  });

  return plugin;
};
