How to add a new Permission?

[neildaemond]

I feel like the list of permissions in the Access>Permissions section isn't exhaustive. There is an 'Add Permission' option, but I don't have a clue as to what I can add in there as it's just a text field.

Is there a list of acceptable permissions somewhere? or a guide on how to use this feature?

Thanks,

Permissions are text based. While there's some already there used by system, you can simply add custom permission you then can use for your module or in templates:

$user->hasPermission("mypermission")

I think only permission that PW uses but is not on the list is page-publish. PW will use that if you add it.
