MM-67684 Separate shared channel permissions from secure connection permissions (#35409)
* Channel sharing operations (invite, uninvite, list shared channel remotes)
now require ManageSharedChannels instead of ManageSecureConnections, allowing
customers to delegate channel sharing without granting full connection management access.
Endpoints serving both roles (getRemoteClusters, getSharedChannelRemotesByRemoteCluster) accept either permission.

Also adds RequirePermission helpers on Context to reduce boilerplate across all remote cluster and shared channel handlers, and fixes a bug where invite/uninvite checked ManageSecureConnections but reported ManageSharedChannels in the error.

Mattermost API Documentation

This repository holds the API reference documentation for Mattermost available at https://developers.mattermost.com/api-reference.

The Mattermost API reference uses the OpenAPI standard and the ReDoc document generator.

All documentation is available under the terms of a Creative Commons License.

Contributing

We're accepting pull requests! See something that could be documented better or is missing documentation? Make a PR and we'll gladly accept it.

All the documentation is written in YAML and found in the v4/source directories. APIv4 documentation is in the v4 directory. APIs for Playbooks are retrieved from GitHub at build time and integrated into the final YAML file.

There is no strict style guide but please try to follow the example of the existing documentation.

To build the full YAML, run make build and it will be output to v4/html/static/mattermost-openapi-v4.yaml. This will also check syntax using swagger-cli.

To test locally, run make build, make run and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080. For any updates to the source files, re-run the same commands.

Deployment

Deployment is handled automatically by our Github Actions. When a pull request is merged, it will automatically be deployed to https://developers.mattermost.com/api-reference.
