The `bindID` value specifies how to uniquely identify users when setting permissions:

- `username`: You can [set permissions](#setting-repository-permissions-for-users) for users by specifying their Sourcegraph usernames. Using usernames is **preferred**, as usernames are required to be unique for each user.
- `email`: You can [set permissions](#setting-repository-permissions-for-users) for users by specifying their email addresses (which must be verified emails associated with their Sourcegraph user account).
