Permit.io Resources API
Resources are *types* of objects or feature names that you wish to protect (or gate) with permissions.For example, if you build a document-sharing app like google docs, you might want to define a "document" resource.A resource definition block typically contains **actions**.Actions are the various ways you can interact with the object / feature. Each (resource, action) pair defines a unique permission level.A resource may also contain:- roles (if you wish to define resource-bound roles or if your permissions model is relational)- relations to other resources (if your permissions model is relational, i.e: you work with a ReBAC model)- attributes (attributes that are typically defined on the resource, typically used in ABAC models)
