We don't believe that we'll need to be more granular than write (basic) and read/write (full), partially because that would be hard to surface to the user in a clear way.

Having said that, if you think it would be better to have this be `{ access: "write" }` and `{ access: "full" }` (or "read-write") then I don't have a problem with that.  The default `{ clipboard }` would be equivalent to `{ name: "clipboard", access: "write" }` and `full` would be stronger than `write`.

In the future, we may want to add another dimension (e.g., to control access to particular mimetypes), but that would be in a separate field.
