-Resource token generation and management is handled by the native Cosmos DB client libraries; however, if you use REST you must construct the request/authentication headers.

 ### Code sample to create permission
 
 The following code sample shows how to create a permission resource, read the resource token of the permission resource, and associate the permissions with the [user](#users) created above.
 
 ```csharp
-// Create a permission.
-Permission docPermission = new Permission
-{
-    PermissionMode = PermissionMode.Read,
-    ResourceLink = UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri("db", "collection"),
-    Id = "readperm"
-};
-  
-docPermission = await client.CreatePermissionAsync(UriFactory.CreateUserUri("db", "user"), docPermission);
-Console.WriteLine(docPermission.Id + " has token of: " + docPermission.Token);
+// Create a permission on a container and specific partition key value
+Container container = client.GetContainer("SalesDatabase", "OrdersContainer");
+user.CreatePermissionAsync(
+    new PermissionProperties(
+        id: "permissionUser1Orders",
+        permissionMode: PermissionMode.All,
+        container: benchmark.container,
+        resourcePartitionKey: new PartitionKey("012345")));

-If you have specified a partition key for your collection, then the permission for collection, document, and attachment resources must also include the ResourcePartitionKey in addition to the ResourceLink.

 ## Delete or export user data

 Azure Cosmos DB enables you to search, select, modify and delete any personal data located in database or collections. Azure Cosmos DB provides APIs to find and delete personal data however, it’s your responsibility to use the APIs and define logic required to erase the personal data. 
 Each multi-model API (SQL, MongoDB, Gremlin, Cassandra, Table) provides different language SDKs that contain methods to search and delete personal data. You can also enable the [time to live (TTL)](time-to-live.md) feature to delete data automatically after a specified period, without incurring any additional cost.
