Since you assigned permissions to a role from the code, I need to get all the name fields of the content types like “properties”:{“fields”:[“author”,“category”,“content”,“description”,“image”,“slug”,“title”],“locales”:[“en”]},

(global.strapi.contentTypes) to save {
“action”:“plugins::content-manager.explorer.create”,
“subject”:“application::article.article”,
“properties”:{“fields”:[???],“locales”:[“en”]},
“conditions”:[],
“role”:2
}

const generateRowPermission = (action, subject) => {
return {
action,
subject,
properties: { fields: [‘title’], locales: [‘en’] },
conditions: [],
role: 2
};
};
const actions = [
‘plugins::content-manager.explorer.create’,
‘plugins::content-manager.explorer.delete’,
‘plugins::content-manager.explorer.publish’,
‘plugins::content-manager.explorer.read’,
‘plugins::content-manager.explorer.update’
];
const permission = generateRowPermission(action, value.uid);
await strapi.query(‘permission’, ‘admin’).create(permission);

stumbled upon a snippet earlier this day which sets permissions, locales and other stuff at bootstrap-time. https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/10466
maybe this helps you a little bit.

No, the permissions that I want to add from the code are these:

Same logic applies (roughly) but the permissions structure of the admin are a bit different in that if there is no permission it’s not created in the database.

Here is an example screenshot from a test project I was playing with (table is called strapi_permission)

And you would need to use the strapi.query('permission', 'admin').create({ ... data })

The structure of these permissions is much more complex than the users-permissions (and we don’t have them documented). There are 3 models in the admin “plugin” (it’s not a plugin but in the internal API it’s treated as one):

  • user
  • permission
  • role

You can use the yarn strapi console to explore the internal API and see what functions exist:
