Permission

The Permission concept in the Endless Commerce GraphQL API is a fundamental aspect that empowers developers to manage and control access to various functionalities within our system. This document provides a non-technical overview to help developers and stakeholders understand the concept of Permission and its significance within the context of our API.

What is a Permission?

In our API, a Permission represents a specific action, capability, or access right that can be granted to a party assuming a particular Role. Permissions are granular and define the level of access a party has within the system.

Understanding Permissions and Access Control

In the context of our API, Permissions play a vital role in implementing access control and defining the actions that parties can perform based on their assigned Roles. Whether it's read access, write access, or specific functionality, Permissions provide a fine-grained approach to managing access.

Assigning Permissions to Roles

Permissions are typically associated with Roles. When a party assumes a Role, it inherits the Permissions associated with that Role. This hierarchical approach allows for flexibility in managing access rights across various user types and functions.

Conclusion

Understanding the Permission concept is crucial for developers working with our API to implement robust access control and security measures. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Happy permission-defining!
