      EPIC Goal

      Allow admins the ability to add plugins that support permissions and conditions through an API endpoint

      Background/Feature Origin

      Today, the RBAC plugins supports exposing permissions and conditions through the use of a config value. However, editing the config value to add new plugins typically results in the Backstage / RHDH instance needing to be reloaded.

      Why is this important?

      This means that for anytime an admin wishes to add plugins and expose the permissions and conditional rules to the RBAC plugin, they will need to restart the Backstage / RHDH instance. This isn't necessarily a problem for RHDH as we have a custom mechanism for loading in those permissions and conditional rules. However, it is a problem for Backstage users

      User Scenarios

      As an admin, I would like to have the ability to add additional plugin permissions and conditions, so that I can have the most up to date list of permissions and conditional rules

      As an admin, I would like an API endpoint in which I can all to add additional plugins that expose permissions and conditional rules, so that I can have the most up to date list of permissions and conditional rules
