# Permissioning
|
|
|
|
A permissioned network allows only specified nodes and accounts to participate by enabling node permissioning and/or account permissioning on the network.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
In peer-to-peer networks, node-level permissions can be used to enforce rules on nodes you control.
|
|
With node-level permissions only, it is still possible a bad actor could violate network governance
|
|
and act as a proxy to other nodes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Local
|
|
|
|
[Local permissioning](Local-Permissioning.md) are specified at the node level. Each node in the network has a [permissions configuration file](#permissions-configuration-file).
|
|
Updates to local permissioning must be made to the configuration file for each node.
|
|
|
|
## Onchain
|
|
|
|
[Onchain permissioning](Onchain-Permissioning.md) is specified in a smart contract on the network. Specifying permissioning onchain
|
|
enables all nodes to read and update permissioning in one location.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Onchain permissioning for accounts will be available in a future Pantheon release.
