Docs are missing the possible permissions actions

[shellwhale]

Where are the docs for the possible actions permissions? https://github.com/hashicorp/boundary/blob/514bcc19f605a03c004df0d78cd790e54a2f8c73/internal/types/action/action.go#L162

Hello @shellwhale, thanks for your question. We have documentation on permissions here:

• Identity and access management (IAM)
• Permissions in Boundary
• Assignable permissions
• Permission grant formats
• Manage roles
• Resource tables

Please let me know whether those pages answer your question, or if there is something else you are looking for. Thank you!

Hello @Dan-Heath, thanks for the answer. From your links the only page that mentions a list of possible action is this one : https://developer.hashicorp.com/boundary/docs/configuration/identity-access-management/assignable-permissions#actions

But that is really lacking

Thanks for your reply @shellwhale. Did you see the Resource tables topic? I think it might have the information you are looking for. It has a list of available actions per resource. The available actions are listed in the right-hand column of the tables for each resource type with examples.

Please let me know if that helps. We are planning a refresh of this part of the docs for early next year. I know this information could be better organized - it is spread out over multiple topics, and it makes it difficult to find. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please let me know and I can add them to our planned work.

Thank you @Dan-Heath, it did not seems obvious in the resource table indeed, I overlooked it sorry for that.

Yes it is better!

Excellent, I'm glad we found it! I appreciate your feedback; if you had trouble finding it, someone else will too. We will use this info to help with our upcoming reorganization project. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other issues.
