+title: "Resource authorizations"
+description: "In Camunda 8 SaaS, resource authorizations are supported to allow a finer grained approach to controlling access to your resources."
+---
+
+In Camunda 8 SaaS, resource authorizations allow you to control the level of access a user has to a specific resource in the system.
+
+:::info
+Resource authorizations in Camunda 8 SaaS can only be applied on a user level currently, if you would like to explore setting resource authorizations
+on a group level see the [resource authorizations for Self-Managed](../../self-managed/concepts/access-control/resource-authorizations.md) documentation.
+:::
+
+### Component support
+
+The Camunda ecosystem contains several resource types and many actions that can be performed on them, currently the resource types and permissions we support are:
+
+**Operate**
+
+- Process definition:
+  - Read definition
+  - Delete definition
+  - Update process instance
+  - Delete process instance
+- Decision definition:
+  - Read
+  - Delete
+
+**Tasklist**
+
+- Process definition:
+  - Start process instance
+
+### Using Camunda 8 Self-Managed?
+
+If you are using the Self-Managed distribution of Camunda 8, we recommend heading over to the [resource authorizations for Self-Managed](../../self-managed/concepts/access-control/resource-authorizations.md) documentation.
