I’m using the permissions API (and the python requests library) to be able to load permissions sets systematically.  I have to contact the Users API to get the uuid of the user (look up by the username).  So you contact a URL, and if you do it right you can get a bunch of json back that will allow you to pick out what you need.  So there’s no front-end use going on at the moment.

Maura,

Can you expand on this? Do you mean adding permissions via the Users app in the FOLIO front end, or via some other avenue?

1. At present, it’s not possible (or, at least, not evidently possible) to assign permissions to a user without knowing their UUID, which can be looked up in the users API.  Would we be interested in advocating for having a piece of the backend doing this lookup for us?
