Manage Your Server: Server Permissions
As described in Configuration : Authentication & Authorization, you can use two different authentication methods in RavenDB.
In both methods, each user is associated with a permission type:
- Admin
- Read, Write
- Read Only
The permission type is set by an admin when creating user settings in Windows Authentication or when using API keys.
