Implement wildcard permission support in Statamic CMS to allow using * as a placeholder in permission strings, enabling simplified role configuration.
In nutshell, I have extended
hasPermission()function and created a newmatchesWildcard()function to use a regex and parse the wildcard entries inroles.yamlfile.What is allowed now:
roles.yaml:What led me to this change:
The current
roles.yamlfile can contain 11 times the same, repetitive setup. For example, the "editor" role lists the same permissions for 11 different collections, resulting in 99 nearly identical permission entries.Example Transformations

I tried to write some tests for that, but I'm not sure, if its OK, havent practiced much in writing tests.
