11/16/2022, 4:28 PMHow do I check for a permission using the HTTP API? Maybe I'm misinterpreting it, but it seems like it only allows checking relations?
Also whats the naming convention for relations? Ive seen both singular and plural in the docs (member vs members).
Or are the plurals whatever is defined in
relatedpermitss

Internally relations and permissions are the same thing, but we will refactor some of that. Just use the permission as the relation in the tuple.

For naming conventions, we are a bit behind on updating all of that.

Then the permission is allowed for the subject

Not sure if that is a feature or bug

But for now that's how we planned it to be

Im abstracting the Keto API in my application though so that shouldnt happen

As in the API returning an error if someone attempts creating a relation that is nonexistent or uses differing types?
