Syntax conventions

## Description

An administrator is the owner, or a user that has been granted the `admin` permission for that specific graph depot or repo.

The administrator uses this command to list the permission assignments for the specified depot of type `graph` or repo.

Certain permissions implicitly include other permissions. If you specify a permission that can be implicit or explicit, such as `write-ref`, the list shows users that have the specified permission, either explicitly or implicitly, such as users with `write-all` and `admin`. See the "permissions" section of p4 grant permission.

## Options

`-d` | Applies to the depot of type `graph` with the specified name.
`-n` | Applies to the repo with the specified name.
`-g` | Applies to the specified group.
`-u` | Applies to the specified user.
`-p` | Applies to the specified permission.
`-r` | (Optional) Applies to the specified branch or tag.
`g-opts` | See Global options.

## Examples

To list the permissions to a depot of type `graph`, which includes all of its repos, use the `-d` option:

    p4 show-permission -d graphDepot1

To list the permissions to the specified repo, use the `n` option with the //depot/repo syntax:

    p4 show-permission -n //graphDepot1/repo1

To list the permissions of the specific user to the specified repo, use the `-u` and `-n` options:

    p4 show-permission -u bruno -n //graphDepot1/repo1

To list all the users with the specified permission to the specified repo, use the `-p` option:
