Determining what actions user is permitted using REST API

[dmehers]

Hi,

Once I have a REST API user token (read & write) and can list the boards the user can access (either ones they own, or ones they have joined such as https://trello.com/b/1Jz6SorC/the-dev-board), how can I determine what actions are permitted?

Specifically for a board, how can I tell if they are allowed to create lists, or for lists how can I determine if they can create/move cards, for cards if they can comment, or modify the description etc?  Same for checklists, checkboxes, etc.

I'm aware of permissionLevel in the board's "prefs" but I've not seen this documented anywhere and I'm not sure if it is directly relevant.

Thanks,
