questions:

  1. Is the functionality that relies on this permission available in all our offerings (on-prem, ECH, Serverless)?
  2. Are you planning to backport this change to 8.x?
  3. The linked issue says that user needs permissions to **write**, do we really need all here or we can just use write?

  1. Yes
  2. No, this feature is planned for 9.2
  3. We need all to include creating/deleting/managing the data stream too.
