How to set public permissions without using Strapi Admin

[Tylor_Kolbeck]

Is it possible to set public permission of routes and controllers in the routes file so that you do not have to go into strapi admin after rebuild to check the permissions checkboxes for a specific route?

Thank you

Want to know too! That’s the only reason I’m logging into the Strapi dashboard these days, very often after a brief moment of “Why is my endpoint not working?”. Would be great to be able to programmatically set that and push it out with the commit.

Currently you can’t set them in files but you can inject them at boot time (or build some kind of custom controller to handle that, but you need the permissions set to use that controller so catch-22):

Set permissions programmatically? #6294

This discussion has been migrated from our Github Discussion #6294 laggingreflex216d ago I have a collection type “Content” The normal API route to get all contents is GET /contents But by default it’s inaccessible, and gives a 403 Forbidden You have to goto the Admin Panel > Plugins > Roles & Permissions > Permissions > Application > Content then select all and hit Save Is there a way to do this programmatically?

Hi there, I had a similar problem and have developed a plugin to help solve it:

strapi-plugin-public-permissions

It updates the database during bootstrap to automatically set your chosen permissions to public.

Hey, What about the Authenticated permissions? Dose this plugin solve that problem as well?
