Migrate packages and registries graphql to add userPermissions field
The following discussion from !110721 (merged) should be addressed:
-
@mrincon started a discussion: Suggestion (non-blocking): Usually we a
userPermissions
field in our GraphQL API that provides this sort of information, so this type is not consistent with the rest of the UI, could we open a follow up to migrate to this?An example: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/graphql/reference/#jobpermissions
We would then get a chance to rename this to canDelete as well
👍
Proposal
Move the user related permission to a new field userPermissions
in the GraphQL queries within packages & registries similar to example above.
Implementation guide
- introduce the new fields in the backend.
- read those fields from the frontend.
- mark the old fields as deprecated.
- remove the old fields.
constraints
