Using Templates

To create a role based on a template, copy the JSON structure and modify it as needed:

// Create a custom role based on the editor template
const customRole = {
  name: 'senior-editor',
  description: 'Editor with content type management',
  permissions: {
    // Start with editor permissions
    ...editorPermissions,
    // Add content type update permission
    contentTypes: {
      create: false,
      read: true,
      update: true,  // Added
      publish: false,
      delete: false
    }
  }
};

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.metabind.ai/app/v1/organizations/org123/roles',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_JWT',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(customRole)
  }
);
