Manage AMP Permissions

Below is a list of portal and API actions, along with the required AMP permissions for each. Note that some actions require multiple permission assignments; should you encounter errors while managing Container Security configurations, please double-check you have the proper combinations.

When assigning any write permission, it is advised to also assign the corresponding read permission. For example, "Write Container Security Registries" should not be assigned without also assigning "Read Container Security Registries."
