2. Select the resource type on the left side of the screen, and click Create authorization.
3. Provide the following information for your authorization:
   • Owner type: The entity (user, group, role, client, or mapping) to which you want to assign permissions.
   • Owner ID: The ID of the owner to which you want to assign permissions.
