Since the schema registry api provides options to soft delete and hard delete schemas is it possible to give a user account/ service account only readonly access to the schema registry ?

Hi! Given that you mention user/service account, I’m assuming you’re using Confluent Cloud. If you’re using Confluent Cloud, we don’t currently support access control on fully-managed Schema Registry, but we are actively working on it.

If you’re self-managing Schema Registry, you can use the “Schema Registry Security Plugin”; note that this currently requires an enterprise license.

Thanks Justin for your response.

Yes, I am using Confluent Cloud. Looking forward for the access control features on full-managed Schema Registry.
