Can you provide more details about your question?

I know the terms "permissioned" and "permissionless" in the context of blockchains, i.e. can anyone run a node on a blockchain, or do you have to get "approved" to run a node. But probably these terms are applied in other contexts as well.

who give the approval to run a node ?
what approval mean here?

@Muthurajj can we close this? I think this is a question about the DID method itself, rather than about this specific implementation here. Maybe the following repo is a better place for this issue: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-method-web
