+[NOTE]
+====
+In YAML configuration, permission types use one of two formats:
+
+* **Single object format** (used by `all`, `config`, and `transaction`): These singleton permissions can only have one configuration entry, so they are defined directly as an object without the `-` list indicator.
+* **Array format** (used by all other permission types): These permissions support multiple entries with different `name` attributes or configurations, so each entry begins with a `-` to indicate it is a list item.
+
+For example, `all: principal: admin` (single object) versus `map: - name: myMap` (array).
+
+If you see an error like `expected type: JSONArray, found: JSONObject`, check whether you are using the correct format for the permission type.
