# Permissions

<StandardSite /> provides permission sets for applications to access publications, documents, subscriptions, and recommends.

## Overview

Applications that interact with <StandardSite /> records on a user's Personal Data Server (PDS) must request appropriate permissions. Our permission set defines which collections an application can read from and write to.

## Full <StandardSite /> Access

The `site.standard.authFull` permission set provides complete access to all <StandardSite /> features.

### Requesting Permissions

Include `site.standard.authFull` in the OAuth scope when requesting user authorization:

```
include:site.standard.authFull
```

### Granted Permissions <Updated />

This permission set grants access to the following collections:

<Table
    headers={['Collection', 'Access scopes']}
    rows={[
        ['site.standard.publication', 'Create, update, and delete publication records'],
        ['site.standard.document', 'Create, update, and delete document records'],
        ['site.standard.graph.subscription', 'Create, update, and delete subscription records'],
        ['site.standard.graph.recommend', 'Create, update, and delete recommend records'],
    ]}
/>

## Social <StandardSite /> Access <Updated label="New" />

The `site.standard.authSocial` permission set is a narrower scope for managing subscriptions and document recommends.

### Requesting Permissions

Include `site.standard.authSocial` in the OAuth scope when requesting user authorization:

```
include:site.standard.authSocial
```

### Granted Permissions

<Table
    headers={['Collection', 'Access scopes']}
    rows={[
        ['site.standard.graph.subscription', 'Create, update, and delete subscription records'],
        ['site.standard.graph.recommend', 'Create, update, and delete recommend records'],
    ]}
/>
