How to disable permission checks for development - Chat

In order to disable permission checks and allow development tokens during application development (never in a production build), there are a few steps you need to take, in any order. 

1. Ensure your app is in development mode in the dashboard, select App -> Options -> Edit

2. Make sure that a server-side API call has been made to disable auth checks and permission checking

await client.updateAppSettings({
 disable_auth_checks: true,
});

await client.updateAppSettings({
 disable_permissions_checks: true,
});

3. Create a user with development tokens

await client.setUser(
 {
 id: 'steve-0',
 name: 'Steve',
 },
 client.devToken('steve-0'),
);

To re-iterate, this should not be enabled on production applications.
