Extension feature wish list

[danieltj27]

A (not comprehensive) list of features that should be added to the extension.

Endpoints

Endpoints that must be added that allow access to data.

• Users
• Groups
• Forums (including sub-forums)
• Topics
• Posts
• Site (for site-wide data like stats and settings)

Permissions

Permissions that control who and what can be altered.

• User based permissions to access the API
• Group based permissions to access the API

Users and groups should have two permission levels, ie; read access to API data (that they have permission to see as if they were on the forum itself) and write access (again, to content they would have write access to).

So for example a standard user could have write access to the API, but they still wouldn't be able to view or edit anything within a private moderator forum.

Summary

Users that can access the API must be able to create, read, update & delete data (that they have access to). Users need two base permissions which is can access the API and can write to the API. Then on top of that they need additional permissions such as being able to edit a post that they would be able to edit on the forum through standard usage.

How about a search endpoint?

That's a good idea, I will definitely consider that.
