Once permission has been granted, you can execute the PayPal API operations associated with
the permissions on the account holder’s behalf. To determine what permissions you need:
1. Determine the specific PayPal API operations that you will call as part of your application
or service.
2. Identify the groups that contain these API operations.
3. Request permission to execute the API operations by group.
Permission Groups
Permission groups are the bundles of PayPal APIs that you can request permission to call on
behalf of a PayPal account holder. In your request, you specify one or more group IDs that
cover the API operations you need to call.
