In one aspect of the teachings herein, "inaugural" registrations by M2M applications are reported according to stored subscription information and the notification of an inaugural registration by a given application is used for the automatic determination of permissions for the application with respect to one or more resources stored in the M2M network. For example, a first application performs an inaugural registration with the Services Capability Layer (SCL) hosted at a first node and a corresponding inaugural registration notification is sent to the SCL at a second node, based on the second node being subscribed for notifications. Application-related identifiers in the inaugural registration notification are used at the second node to determine permissions for the first application with respect to a resource maintained at the second node. Further, ongoing registration and notification tracking prevent repeated notifications and minimize notification traffic between nodes, while still providing for automated setting of permissions. |
