I keep coming back to https://docs.serverless-stack.com/util/Permissions#permissiontype which shows “permissions” doesn’t support it. I can’t use https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/RDS from https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/blob/master/examples/rest-api-postgresql/stacks/MyStack.js because it’s an existing DB so don’t want to create a new one.
