Reading the User's Permissions on Resources and Values

In the complex API schema, each resource and value is returned with the predicate knora-api:userHasPermission. The object of this predicate is a string containing a permission code, which indicates the requesting user's maximum permission on the resource or value. These are the possible permission codes, in ascending order:

  • RV: restricted view permission (least privileged)
  • V: view permission
  • M modify permission
  • D: delete permission
  • CR: change rights permission (most privileged)

Each permission implies all lesser permissions. For more details, see Permissions.
