Objective

This article helps you give a client identity read, write, or manage access to a specific Sync Map, and change that access later.

Product

Twilio Sync

Environment

Twilio Console

User Account Permission/Role(s) Required

Your user role must allow reading Twilio Sync Services to open the Map, and updating them to save a permission.

Procedure

1. In the Twilio Console, select Builder tools in the left sidebar.
2. Select Sync, then Services.
3. In the Name column, select the Service that holds the Map.
4. Select the Maps tab, then select the Map's SID to open it.
5. Scroll to Permissions and select Add a permission.
6. In Identity, enter the token identity this permission applies to.
7. Select the access to give: Can read to read this Map and its items, Can write to create, update, and delete items in it, and Can manage to delete the Map itself.
8. Select Add. The identity appears in the table with Yes or No in the Can read, Can write, and Can manage columns.

To change an existing identity's access, open its row actions menu, select Edit, adjust the checkboxes, and select Save changes.

Additional Information

• Permissions only take effect while access control is enabled on the parent Service. If it is off, the Map's page shows the callout "Access control is disabled" turn on ACL enabled on the Service's Configure tab for these permissions to be enforced.
• The identity is the address of the permission, so it is shown as a read-only value when you edit an existing entry.
• An identity can be up to 256 characters.
• All three access settings are saved together every time, so clearing a checkbox removes that access. Enable at least one action saving with all three cleared has the same effect as revoking the identity.
