@ -18,6 +18,8 @@ There are two main types of permissions in authentik:
- [**Global permissions**](#global-permissions)
- [**Object permissions**](#object-permissions)
Additionally, authentik employs _initial permissions_ to streamline the process of granting object-level permissions when an object (user or role) is created. This feature enables an Admin to proactively assign specific rights to a user for object creation, as well as for viewing and managing those objects and other objects created by individuals in the same role. For more details, refer to [Initial permissions](./initial_permissions.mdx).
### Global permissions
Global permissions define who can do what on a global level across the entire system. Some examples in authentik are the ability to add new [flows](../../add-secure-apps/flows-stages/flow/index.md) or to create a URL for users to recover their login credentials.
