Delegated Addresses

Delegated addresses are a mechanism in DPSN that allows users to grant specific permissions to other entities without compromising their main account's security. This provides a flexible and secure way to manage access to topics and other network resources.

Key Features of Delegated Addresses

• Permission Delegation: Users can grant specific permissions to delegated addresses, such as publishing messages, subscribing to topics, or managing other network resources.

• Revocable Permissions: Permissions can be revoked at any time, providing granular control over access.

• Security: Delegated addresses offer a layer of security by isolating sensitive information from the main account.

• Flexibility: Delegated addresses can be used for various use cases, such as managing multiple accounts, collaborating with team members, or granting access to third-party applications.

How Delegated Addresses Work

1. Create a Delegated Address: Users can create delegated addresses using the DPSN dashboard or API.

2. Grant Permissions: Assign specific permissions to the delegated address, such as publishing messages on certain topics or subscribing to data streams.

3. Use the Delegated Address: The delegated address can be used to perform actions within the DPSN network based on the granted permissions.

Benefits of Using Delegated Addresses

• Enhanced Security: By using delegated addresses, users can limit the scope of access to their DPSN accounts, reducing the risk of unauthorized actions.

• Improved Collaboration: Delegated addresses facilitate collaboration between team members and organizations.

• Simplified Management: Managing multiple accounts or granting access to third-party applications becomes easier with delegated addresses.
