I think the value of getting this working outweights any potential confusion from not using finely grained permission checks to decide if the user should be able to apply a permission or not.
The tokens themselves won't be able to perform `insert-row` or similar if the user doesn't have the ability to do that, even if they selected that checkbox.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1493390939,UI to create reduced scope tokens from the `/-/create-token` page,

I have a nasty feeling this may require looping through _everything_ and running every permission check, which could get very expensive if there are plugins involved that do their own storage check to resolve a permission.
It's that classic permission system problem: how to efficiently iterate through everything the user has permission to do in one go?
Might be that I have to punt on that, and show the user a list of permissions to select that they might not actually have ability for.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1493390939,UI to create reduced scope tokens from the `/-/create-token` page,
