Strapi Users Permissions Export
Save your role permissions to config files that can be committed and reapplied to the database.
This is a cli tool to export strapi role permissions to a json file. It can also import the role permissions back into a strapi database.
This can be useful when switching branches with different permissions. Commit these exported files to your repository and import them when switching branches.
Permissions can be changed in the strapi admin panel and exported or changed directly in the json file and imported.
Setup
Create an full access api-key or user with these permissions:
- userspermissions/createrole
- userspermissions/getrole
- userspermissions/getroles
- userspermissions/updaterole
Strapi should be running alongside this cli tool.
