Custom plugin is not shown in Users & Permissions plugin settings

Question

I am trying to create my own custom plugin in Strapi. I have created one through the CLI (with the generate command) and after registering my plugin, it shows up in the navigation. However, I want to limit the access of the API endpoints. For this, I tried to change the settings in the Users & Permissions plugin but my custom plugin does not show up there.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to register the plugin anywhere specifically for the Users & Permissions plugin?

What I did so far:

• Registered the custom plugin in the config/plugin.ts
• create custom API logic

Great question!

You need to open a custom route in user-permission, let me guide you

1. create a file of your name at user-psermissions/controllers/example.js

2. paste this below code and edit it as per requirement

    module.exports = plugin => {
    plugin.controllers.user.example = async ctx => {
     // ... codes
    };
   
   plugin.routes['content-api'].routes.push({
    method: 'PUT',
    path: '/user/example',
    handler: 'user.example',
    config: {
      prefix: '',
      policies: [],
     },
    });
   
    return plugin;
    };
