Permissions and mining.

Question

In order for a node to be able to mine do certain permissions have to be granted first.  For example can a node mine if not granted connect, send or receive? I assume a node can mine if its granted connect,mine but cannot mine if its granted only mine without any other permissions? Is this correct?

Answer 1

If a node does not have connect permissions, it cannot join the network, so it won't be able to see the transactions to mine, nor broadcast the blocks it has created.

However it's quite possible to have multiple addresses in a node, and for one of these to be granted connect permissions, and the other mine permissions.
