1.4. Permissions

This chapter describes how you can set permissions using the Registry Control. Before you start to work with permissions, we recommend reading Section 6, Permissions: Principles to become familiar with permissions principles. Oracle Service Registry uses the same interface for managing both user permissions and group permissions. In this section we discuss user permissions, but group permissions are handled the same way.
