Event Type Permissions

Is there a way to easily set all event type permissions to global? Some of my apps have many event types and none are global...

Thanks.

From the CLI, you can go to the app where they are defined, create a metadata directory and inside of that, create a local.meta file with these contents:

[eventtypes]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin ]
export = system

Is the principal the same for macros? Go to the app on the deployment server and do the above for [macros] ?
