描述

Summary

While working on adding a permission key for the evaluate action, I went through the two docs shared:

  1. https://docs.meshery.io/reference/permissions/
  2. https://docs.meshery.io/reference/extensibility/authorization/

The first one covers all the existing permission keys, and the second goes into the architecture and how keys are validated in the UI using casl.js, but neither explains how to actually create a new permission key.

What's Missing

  • Guide on how to create a new permission key

Expected

A clear how-to guide so contributors can independently add new permission keys without needing to dig through the codebase.

研究方向
Review the existing permission documentation at https://docs.meshery.io/reference/permissions/ and https://docs.meshery.io/reference/extensibility/authorization/. Examine the UI authorization implementation using casl.js in the frontend codebase (likely in the ui/ directory). Investigate how existing permission keys are defined and validated in the backend (possibly in the server/ or meshkit/ directories). Look at previous PRs that added permission keys for reference. The guide should step through creating a new key, updating necessary files, and testing. There are 4 comments on the issue that may contain additional context or clarification.
