Permission

export interface Permission {
    issuer: string;
    clientId: string;
    expireIn: number;
    created?: number;
    policyHash: string;
    lastPolicyChangeDate: Date;

}

When you want to get a policy for the current logged user you can use this logic :

mgr.setToken('TOKEN');
mgr.getPolicy().then(p => {
    console.log('this is the policy', p);
});
