## Permissions mechanisms in parallel

> Feature is in Experimental stage and is supported up to Sourcegraph 5.0

> NOTE: Up to version 5.0, if the Explicit permissions API is enabled, all the other repository permissions mechanisms are disabled. If you're using Sourcegraph with multiple code hosts, it's not possible to use the explicit permissions API for one code host and use other mechanisms for getting permissions for others.

If you want to use explicit permissions API alongside synced permissions, read section [permission mechanisms in parallel here](/admin/permissions/#permissions-mechanisms-in-parallel).

You can use the [explicit permissions API](/admin/permissions/api) alongside code host permission syncing.
This allows you to configure explicit permissions for one code host while using synced permissions for another on the same Sourcegraph instance.
