Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I've installed the REST UI module and i've enabled watchdog, content and user REST resources. Only watchdog permissions show up People/Permissions UI config. If I try to access from the dropdown menu in the REST UI to change permissions for content and user, the browser links to permissions page but doesn't show relevant permissions.
is this is a bug?
if not, whats the policy for permissions on REST resources. It appears inconsistent as I expect all resources to have configurable permissions.
thanks

Wim LeersThis has not been true by default since Drupal 8.2, or for the past 1.5 year. See #2664780: Remove REST's resource- and verb-specific permissions for EntityResource, but provide BC and document why it's necessary for other resources. Change record: https://www.drupal.org/node/2733435.
Sites using REST since Drupal 8.0 or 8.1 still get the old behavior: they get auto-generated permissions even for entity REST resources. But since 8.2, we just rely on entity access. No more additional REST permissions, which made things needlessly complicated.
