# Sync Permissions

Permissions bind an Identity to a sync object and describe the type of access the identity has to that sync object. Permissions don't have a SID or a unique path; instead, they are identified by the Service, Object, and Identity specified in the URL.

Permissions can be updated, fetched, and read. Deleting a permission has the same effect as setting all access to `false`.

Permission resources are specific to the sync object. For more info, see:
