move_items is automatically added when the permissions below are all added:In 1Password Business, all vault permissions have a hierarchical relationship in which narrower permissions require broader permissions to be granted alongside them. Permission dependencies are cumulative, so if a narrower permission is several levels down, it requires all of the broader permissions above it.
For example, to grant the narrower permission delete_items you must also grant the permissions edit_items, view_and_copy_passwords, and view_items.
Similarly, to revoke a broader permission like view_items, any narrower dependent permissions that have already been granted must be revoked alongside it.
