In the Web3 Platform, user permissions are granted on containers of data.
A Store is the highest level data container. Every Web3 installation consists of two stores - the Topic Map Store and the Schema Store. These stores equate to the databases used to implement them. A store is a container of Partitions - the Topic Map Store directly contains one partition for each topic map; the Schema Store contains one partition for each schema.
The permissions available on a store are:
| • | Create Partition - allows a user to add a new partition to the store. This allows the user to create topic maps in the Topic Map Store or create schemas in the Schema Store. |
| • | Create Job - allows the user to create a long-running job that acts on the store. This permission only allows the user to schedule jobs - the user will still require specific permissions on the partition(s) affected by the job. |
| • | Admin - allows the user to grant and revoke permissions on the store. |
A Partition is a container of actual data. Each top-level partition in a store represents a topic map (in the Topic Map Store) or a schema (in the Schema Store). The permissions available on a partition are:
| • | Read - allows the user to read and query data from this partition |
| • | Write - allows the user to create, update and delete data in this partition |
| • | Create Partition - allows the user to create a sub-partition. This feature is not currently used but will be supported in future versions of the Web3 Platform. |
| • | Admin - allows the user to grant and revoke permissions on the partition. |
