Details for Verb + Resource-Type Combinations

The following tables show the permissions and API operations covered by each verb. The level of access is cumulative as you go from inspect > read > use > manage. A plus sign (+) in a table cell indicates incremental access compared to the cell directly above it, whereas "no extra" indicates no incremental access.

For example, the read verb for the announcements resource-type includes the same permissions and API operations as the inspect verb, plus the ANNOUNCEMENT_READ permission and an additional API peration, GetAnnouncement. However, the use verb and manage verbs cover no extra permissions or API operations compared to read.
