Description
This issue arose from the discussions in https://github.com/StackStorm/st2docs/issues/1107 in regard to the behaviour in the example in the documentation.
In the current example the user had permissions
permission_grants:
-
resource_uid: "pack:example"
permission_types:
- "pack_all"
- "sensor_type_all"
- "rule_all"
- "action_all"
With this permission the user was unable to run "st2 action list" or "st2 action list -p example".
The only way the user could list the actions in the pack was to add the global action_list permission, and then they were able to list the actions in that and all other packs.
See the comments in the existing issue from @satellite-no https://github.com/StackStorm/st2docs/issues/1107#issuecomment-1024523164, and @amanda11 https://github.com/StackStorm/st2docs/issues/1107#issuecomment-1025647544 about two different possibilities of how the permissions could be viewed/altered to support restricting the list to certain packs.

Research direction
Start with the permission_grants example and the st2 action list and st2 action list -p example behavior described here. Read the linked st2docs issue and its comments to resolve which permission model is intended; done means a user can list actions for permitted packs without listing actions from other packs.
