It would be very nice to have this feature added. Is there anything we can do to assist? We could try ourselves and send a pull request. However, the mentioned API call might not be the best place to put it, because: * You need the permission "Read user preferences" to call it * The information is not specific to the user, but to the access token So we think a better solution would be: * a separate API endpoint e.g. "/api/0.6/permissions", which would returns a list of granted permissions * or include this information in the OAuth callback response What do you think about that?
