CLP needs an API

[oallouch]

Hi,
CLP is an amazing feature, but without an easy API to set it, I can't use it. It's too easy to forget to check the dashboard.
I don't know which form it can take (is it Schema-related ?), but I'm sure you'll figure it out.

What do you think about it ?

Thx,
Olivier

It makes sense, a masterKey only API on the SCHEMA would be nice.

Would be very nice! Currently I do something like this in lieu of a proper API:

const setCLP = ({ className, clp }) => {
  if (!clp) {
    return Promise.resolve();
  }

  // this approach is used by the dashboard.
  // see: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/blob/master/src/lib/stores/SchemaStore.js
  return Parse._request(
    'PUT',
    'schemas/' + className,
    { classLevelPermissions: clp },
    { useMasterKey: true }
  );
};

Where the clp object is defined something like:

    clp: {
      get: { requiresAuthentication: true },
      find: {},
      create: { '*': true },
      update: { requiresAuthentication: true },
      delete: {},
      addField: {},
    },

@mullwaden I don't understand how I can set good CLP with your function I would like to make this:

Can you describe clp object for this example?

I really like the new protectedFields CLP.
It would still be great to have it in a future CPL API :)
