# Resource Access Window (UI guide)

The Access window is where you see and manage who can do what on a resource. When opened, it shows exactly what principals (Users, Teams) have access on this specific resource. It provides **full transparency**: if someone has access, it shows up in the window.

**Full Transparency:** The Resource Access Window provides complete visibility into who has access to what. Every user and team with access is listed, making it easy to audit and understand permissions.

## Permission sections

<figure><img src="/files/0HAY7NCT5TEiJprYr4Xi" alt="Resource Access Window showing the three permission sections: Inherited, Direct, and Child Resource Permissions"><figcaption><p>Resource Access Window Overview</p></figcaption></figure>

The permissions are split into **3 sections**:

1. [**Inherited Permissions**](/documentation/access-control/ui/inherited.md) - Permissions inherited from parent resources
2. [**Direct Permissions**](/documentation/access-control/ui/direct.md) - Permissions granted directly on this resource
3. [**Child Resource Permissions**](/documentation/access-control/ui/children.md) - Permissions that apply to this resource's children

<summary>Understanding the three permission sections</summary>

**Inherited Permissions:**

* Show permissions that flow down from parent resources
* Cannot be edited at this level
* Must be changed at the parent or overridden with Direct Deny

**Direct Permissions:**

* Permissions granted directly on this specific resource
* Can be set to Allow (✔), Neutral (•), or Deny (✖)
* Deny overrides inherited Allow permissions

**Child Resource Permissions:**

* Permissions that will inherit down to this resource's children
* Useful for granting project-wide access to analyses
* `admin` here only applies to children, not the parent
