Permissions

Permissions are stored and transmitted as bit flags.

From least to most significant bit, the available permissions are as follows:

Permission	Description
manage_permissions	Manage permissions of user accounts. *1
manage_account_teams	Change the team to which users belong to.
manage_account_details	Create, edit and delete accounts.
manage_teams	Create, edit and delete teams.
authenticate_users	Create authentication sessions for users (app-only).
manage_own_team	Manage the team to which you belong (user-only).
manage_awards	Create, edit and delete awards.

^*1

• You must have the manage_permissions permission edit a user’s permission.

• You cannot add or remove a permission from a user if you do not have it yourself.

There are exceptions to the above relating to the manage_own_team permission, however. You can additionally add or remove it from a user if:

• You have the manage_own_team permission and are a member of the same team as them.

• You have the manage_permissions permission and the manage_teams permission.

As well as managing your team’s metadata, and as noted above, manage_own_team allows you to remove users from your own team.
