Access
All Nitric resources provide access permissions you can use to specify the level of access your code needs to the resource. See here for details Access Control documentation.
Available permissions:
sending
This permission allows your code to send new tasks to the queue.
receiving
This permission allows your code to receive tasks from the queue.
Notes
In most instances code should either send to or receive from a queue, usually not both.
