Get plain typescript type from enum

Hi, I am working on a NestJS + Drizzle app and I have the following in my schema:

export const userPermissionLevel = pgEnum("permissionLevel", ["admin","moderator","user","banned"]);

export const userPermissionLevel = pgEnum("permissionLevel", ["admin","moderator","user","banned"]);

Elsewhere in my code, I am writing a NestJS service that aims to resolve a user based on their current session cookie and I'd like to return the following type:

export interface UserMetadata {
        hasEmail: boolean,
        permissions: ???,
        username: string
}

export interface UserMetadata {
        hasEmail: boolean,
        permissions: ???,
        username: string
}

Is there a way to somehow make the permissions field always have a type in sync with the pgEnum? I tried InferColumnType but that clearly isn't correct Ideally in this scenario, I'd have permissions be the following type: "admin"|"moderator"|"user"|"banned" but of course derived somehow from the original enum declaration
