Scenario
If you are not an SWR admin user, you can request an SWR admin user to grant you permissions to read, write, or manage a specific image or images in a specific organization.
Authorization Methods
You can grant permissions to users in SWR by using either of the following methods:
- Grant permissions on the image details page to allow users to read, write, and manage a specific image.
- Grant permissions on the organization details page to allow users to read, write, and manage all the images in an organization.
Figure 1 Permissions
You can grant the following three types of permissions to users:
- Read: Users can only pull images.
- Edit: Users can pull and push images and edit image attributes.
- Manage: Users can pull and push images, delete images or tags, edit image attributes, grant permissions, and share images with other users.
To upload images to an organization, you require the write or manage permission for the organization to which images are uploaded. Write and manage permissions added on the image details pages will not be sufficient to upload images.
