SetPermission

Usage

The setPermission method is available on any Account instance. To create an action that will add a new permission to an account, a Permission instance can be passed to the setPermission method. Here is a basic example of how to do that:

const permission = Permission.from({
  parent: "owner", // The name of the parent permission
  perm_name: "claim", // The name of the permission
  required_auth: {
    keys: [
      {
        key: "PUB_K1_6XXTaRpWhPwnb7CTV9zVsCBrvCpYMMPSk8E8hsJxhf6V9t8aT5", // The public key that can be used to prove authority
        weight: 1, // The weight of the key
      },
    ],
  },
})

const action = account.setPermission(permission) // Creates the action that will create the permission

To update an existing permission on an account, the permission method can be used to obtain a Permission instance, which can then be modified and passed to the setPermission method. Here is a basic example of how to do so:

const permission = account.permission("claim")

// Update the permission by adding a new key
permission.addKey(
  "PUB_K1_6XXTaRpWhPwnb7CTV9zVsCBrvCpYMMPSk8E8hsJxhf6V9t8aT6",

)

const action = setPermission(permission)
