Description

Currently, Unkey allows creating permissions one at a time, which can be time-consuming for larger projects. In real-world applications, permissions often follow a structured naming convention that can be generated dynamically, for example:

<entity>.<action>.<scope>

Examples:

• user.create.owner
• user.delete.owner
• user.update.owner

To streamline permission management, it would be highly beneficial if Unkey supports either of the following:

1. Bulk Permission Creation: Ability to input multiple permissions at once using a comma-separated format.

2. JSON Import Support: Option to import permissions as a JSON array for easier permission creation. The JSON format could look like this:

   [
     { "name": "user.create.owner", "description": "Allows public creation of users" },
     { "name": "user.delete.owner", "description": "Allows deletion of products with private access" }
   ]

These features would allow for faster permission setup.

If this feature request gets approved I would like to work on it.

You could use the API for bulk inserts, would that work?

[aritradevelops]

Yeah that works fine ! Thanks for the clarification @chronark .
