"permissions": {

    },

They can use the entire newsletter service — the permissions newsletter.0 (newsletter.Read), newsletter.1 (newsletter.Write), newsletter.2 (newsletter.Create), and newsletter.3 (newsletter.Delete) are set to true — and read customer and product data — customerAccounts.0 (customerAccounts.Read) and products.0 (products.Read) are set to true.
