## Watch out for `dash-case`
The nunjucks compiler can run into issues if the `id` fields in your template steps use dash characters, since these IDs translate directly to JavaScript object properties when accessed as output. One possible migration path is to use `camelCase` for your action IDs.

```yaml

Here we are using the [`usePermission` hook](https://backstage.io/docs/reference/plugin-permission-react.usepermission) to communicate with the permission policy and receive a decision on whether this user is authorized to create a todo list item.
It's really that simple! Let's change our policy to test the disabled button:
```diff
// packages/backend/src/plugins/permission.ts
...
if (isPermission(request.permission, todoListCreatePermission)) {
return {

Providing a disabled state can be a helpful signal to users, but there may be cases where hiding the element is preferred. For such cases, you can use the provided [`RequirePermission` component](https://backstage.io/docs/reference/plugin-permission-react.requirepermission):

Now you should find that the component for adding a todo list item does not render at all. Success!
You can also use `RequirePermission` to prevent access to routes as well. Here's how that would look in your `packages/app/src/App.tsx`:
```diff
+ import { RequirePermission } from '@backstage/plugin-permission-react';
+ import { todoListCreatePermission } from '@internal/plugin-todo-list-common';

```tsx title="packages/app/src/App.tsx"

import { todoListCreatePermission } from '@internal/plugin-todo-list-common';
/* highlight-add-end */
const routes = (
<FlatRoutes>
<Route path="/search" element={<SearchPage />}>
{searchPage}
</Route>
<Route path="/settings" element={<UserSettingsPage />} />
+ <Route path="/todo-list" element={
// You might want to create a "read" permission for this, we are just using this one as an example
+ <RequirePermission permission={todoListCreatePermission}>
+ <TodoListPage />
+ </RequirePermission>
{/* highlight-add-next-line */}
<Route path="/todo-list" element={
{/* You might want to create a "read" permission for this, we are just using this one as an example */}
{/* highlight-add-start */}
<RequirePermission permission={todoListCreatePermission}>
<TodoListPage />
</RequirePermission>
{/* highlight-add-end */}}
{/* ... */}
</Route>
</FlatRoutes>
);
```
Now if you try to navigate to `https://localhost:3000/todo-list` you'll get and error page if you do not have permission.

Now let's say we want to prevent all actions on catalog entities unless performed by the owner. One way to achieve this may be to simply update the `if` statement and check for each permission. If you choose to write your policy this way, it will certainly work! However, it may be difficult to maintain as the policy grows, and it may not be obvious if certain permissions are left out. We can author this same policy in a more scalable way by checking the resource type of the requested permission.

In this example, we use [`isResourcePermission`](https://backstage.io/docs/reference/plugin-permission-common.isresourcepermission) to match all permissions with a resource type of `catalog-entity`. Just like `isPermission`, this helper will "narrow" the type of `request.permission` and enable the use of `createCatalogConditionalDecision`. In addition to the behavior you observed before, you should also see that catalog entities are no longer visible unless you are the owner - success!
