Allow setting resource permissions from config form

This UI is not provided by Drupal core, but by the contributed restui module.

We do have which I do overlook too sometimes.

We could list the permissions set like

I managed to get all permissions listed but this must be filtered out per rest resource. Not sure how to get there. Should we use \Drupal\rest\RestPermissions ?

This is not useful:

Filter permissions based on current resource.

Resources are entity based and permissions are bundle based.

I tested a little bit and #8 isn't what I was imagining.

@oknate I still have no clue how to list permissions related to a resource. Do you?

Patch #8 was just a mockup so setting back to active.

It would be nice to be able to enable it and at the same time there are checkboxes to enable permissions.

So I misread it by putting it on the list page (doh).

@oknate your patch looks great and saves lots of navigation clicks :-) ... due to holidays I can test after 3 weeks :-/

The permissions form does not show up.

So

Shows permissions

Does not show permissions

- http://drupal.d8/admin/config/services/rest/resource/entity%3Anode/edit does not show permissions
- http://drupal.d8/admin/config/services/rest/resource/entity%3Auser/edit
- several others including (readonly) which are AFAIK config entities

are all core/modules/rest/src/Plugin/rest/resource/EntityResource.php:358 which all do

  public function permissions() {
    // @see https://www.drupal.org/node/2664780
    if ($this->configFactory->get('rest.settings')->get('bc_entity_resource_permissions')) {
      // The default Drupal 8.0.x and 8.1.x behavior.
      return parent::permissions();
    }
    else {
      // The default Drupal 8.2.x behavior.
      return [];
    }
  }

Hope that helps!

@oknate what shall we do with this issue?
