permission browser tool

[Elijer]

I was on a call with @nezaj and was discussing my permission-testing process, which involves copying a failing permission, pasting it into the sandbox, recreating the permissions relevant to the query, and messing around.

This workflow is a pain in the ass for a few reasons. It would be amazing to have a browser tool that just pulled the relevant info from a failing query and pasted it into the browser sandbox to make it really easy to test out permissions

Detail: I'd also request that the permissions editor is Javascript that returns a permissions object, instead of JSON. That would be really helpful because

• My permissions file is JS not JSON, so copying is a pain
• My permissions file has some string literals that slow me down too
• It's useful to have comments and string literals while testing this stuff

How?

• Can you create a list of network requests to instant to find queries that failed for permissions reasons, and allow user to select which one they want to test in Sandbox?
• Or, let user add a debugging flag to the query they are interested in

Great suggestion! Thanks for adding in our discord as well. This is on our radar and something we want to get out soon!
