MyIdentityGraph Requesting Permissions
Permissions to Resources are easily requested by drawing permission request edges from your person node to a resource.
Follow these steps (sequence of images are displayed below)
- Search your own person node and the resource you want to have permission to
- Click your own person node and click the + sign
- Connect your own person node with the resource node my drawing an edge between the two
- A modal window appears. Select the type of permission you want to request (see the list below) and click “next”
- Confirm with “Create Edge” and a new permission request will be created
- Canvas now displays an arrow from your own person node to the resource
