After creating an API key, the permissions can no longer be viewed. The edit screen locks the permissions and doesn't show which ones were selected when the key was created, causing doubt and confusion.

This makes it impossible to verify what a key can do, for example a key meant to be read-only for an MCP client. I can't tell whether a resource like Sites was left on or off, and I have to create a new key just to be sure.

Suggestion: show the selected permissions (Read / Create / Delete per resource, plus options like "Use MCP server") on the key's detail page, read-only. Editing doesn't need to be possible. It would also help to show when the key was last used.
