Permit.io Resource Roles API

Roles allow you to associate permissions indirectly via a job function. Resource roles allow you to grant roles that are scoped to a resource, thus expressing ownership or arbitrary relationships between an actor (i.e: user) and a specific object. This API allows you to manipulate roles: assign or unassign permissions to a role, define hierarchy (inheritance) between two roles or define relationships between two roles.
