Research direction

Start with the JavaScript Guide's “Using channels” section at https://docs.parseplatform.org/js/guide/#using-channels. Review its push-notification snippets and explanation, then document that sending notifications requires {useMasterKey: true} in the applicable Cloud Code context; done means the guide clearly explains this requirement and its scope.

What is the issue?
The code snippets & explanation don't mention that the masterKey is required to send push notifications.

Can you propose a solution?
Adding a not about the need to add {useMasterKey: true}. Although the master key should only be used for the JS SDK when used in cloud code - so that should be considered.
