Permissions Dublicate - Fix about directus HOT 3 CLOSED

Can you show reproduction steps for how to get into the state of having duplicated permissions in the first place?

from directus.

See the isse #22613 by using the REST API. The issue was found since a script ran and added the same role, collection and action twice.
Also the same problem is already mentioned in: #21965
https://github.com/tractr/directus-sync?tab=readme-ov-file#remove-permission-duplicates

I think it would be better to close the issue here and mention it in the original #21965 as of duplicate.

This way two permissions are created resulting in the soft lock state, as mentioned in the issue referenced.

const response = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1/api/permissions`, {
            agent: httpsAgent,
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                "Cookie": headers.get('cookie'),
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({
                role: permission.role,
                collection: permission.collection,
                action: permission.action,
                fields: permission.fields,
                permissions: permission.permissions,
                validation: permission.validation,
            }),
        });

from directus.

Closing this in favor of #21965 the optimal solution here would be to prevent duplicate permissions instead of deduplicating them after the fact (that should be done as a one time fix)
