It is useful for verifying if a user has the necessary permissions to interact with Conan packages in a project. For example, it can be used in CI/CD pipelines or automation workflows to validate access before performing package operations.

Use Case Examples

  1. Check if a user has valid credentials to access Conan packages in a GitLab project before downloading or uploading packages.
  2. Automate permission validation for users managing Conan packages in a project repository.
