Document Permission Resource

The Document Permission resource represents the permissions that apply to any SDKs authenticated with a matching Identity specified in the Auth Token.

Permissions bind an identity to an object with flags that specify the permission to read, write, and manage the object. Permissions do not have a SID or a unique path; instead, they are identified by the Service, Object, and Token Identity specified in the URL.

Permissions can be updated, fetched, and read. Deleting a Document Permission resource is the same as setting all permissions to false.

We recommend following the standard URI specification and avoid the following reserved characters ! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? % # [ ] for values such as identity and friendly name.
