Struct Permission 

pub struct Permission {
    pub name: String,
    pub description: String,
    pub category: String,
}

Permission definition for RBAC

Permissions represent individual access rights that can be granted to roles. They follow a naming convention of “resource.action” (e.g., “file.read”, “config.update”) for clear organization.

Permission Categories

• file: File system operations (read, write, delete)
• config: Configuration management (read, update)
• storage: Storage operations (read, write)
• system: System-level operations (external access)

Example Usage

let permission = Permission {
    name: "file.write".to_string(),
    description: "Write file operations".to_string(),
    category: "file".to_string(),
};

Fields

name: String

Unique permission identifier (e.g., “file.read”, “config.update”)

description: String

Human-readable description of what this permission allows

category: String

Category for groupings (e.g., “file”, “config”, “storage”)

Implementations
