## Permissions

By default, users own the links they create and only they can update or delete those links.
Ownership can be transferred to another user from the link edit page.
Links whose owner is no longer part of the tailnet can be edited by any user,
at which point that user will become the new owner.

Users can be granted admin access to edit all links using [ACL grants] in your tailnet policy file.
For example, if you have your golink instance tagged with `tag:golink` and a user group named `group:golink-admins`,
you can grant them admin access using:

```json
{
"grants": [{
"src": ["group:golink-admins"],
"dst": ["tag:golink"],
"app": {
"tailscale.com/cap/golink": [{
"admin": true
}]
}
}]
}
```

Or if you want to effectively disable the ownership model and allow everyone in your tailnet to edit all links,
you could assign the grant to `autogroup:member`:

```json
{
"grants": [{
"src": ["autogroup:member"],
"dst": ["tag:golink"],
"app": {
"tailscale.com/cap/golink": [{
"admin": true
}]
}
}]
}
```

## Backups

Once you have golink running, you can backup all of your links in [JSON lines] format from <http://go/.export>.
