Read vs write permisions

[dabit3]

Is there a way to have read only permissions, or to grant write permissions to certain users?

Is this what client.getToken is doing?

How do we create a read-only client vs a permissioned client?

Thanks,

There isn't really this concept in threads. There is this mostly undocumented API that allows you to specify write validation and read filter functions, which allows you to control who can read and write and what they can read and write:
