Adds docs snippets for Access Manager category permissions (list all channel metadata or all uuid metadata, get only).

File: docs-snippets/access-manager.ts

Snippet markers:

  • grantTokenWithCategories: grantToken with categories for channels and uuids, authorizedUserId, ttl.
  • parseTokenWithCategories: parseToken and reading categories.channels.get and categories.uuids.get.
  • grantWithCategories: legacy grant with authKeys, categories, get, ttl.

Verification: tsc -p docs-snippets/tsconfig.json --noEmit passes against the committed lib/types. The snippets were not run against a live keyset.

📝 Walkthrough

The access manager documentation snippets now show how to grant channel and UUID metadata access with grantToken or legacy grant, and how to read those category permissions from a token.

Changes: Category access examples

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grant and read category permissions
docs-snippets/access-manager.ts
Added a grantToken example and a token-parsing example for channel and UUID get permissions. Added a legacy grant example with a 15-minute TTL and a secret-key requirement.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to aac23

The grant examples cannot issue grants as written, and copying the token example could expose access through logs. Correct the examples before relying on them.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Configure an administrator client for both grant examples.

The shared pubnub instance at lines 3–7 has no secretKey. Both new grant calls use that instance, so the examples cannot issue grants as written. Show a server-side instance configured with a valid keyset and a secret from secure configuration. Keep the secret out of client code. (pubnub.com)

Do not log the granted token.

The token grants access to list all channel and UUID metadata for its 15-minute lifetime. If application logs are exposed, logging the token exposes that credential. Log a success message instead, and pass the token directly to the code that needs it. (pubnub.com)
