Hi @Wilian Jose Lima , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

You can refer to below documentation to create and assign necessary permissions to users:
Secure access to data in Azure Cosmos DB

Creating a User:

//Create a user.  
Database database = benchmark.client.GetDatabase("SalesDatabase");  
  
User user = await database.CreateUserAsync("User 1");  

Creating Permission:

// Create a permission on a container and specific partition key value  
Container container = client.GetContainer("SalesDatabase", "OrdersContainer");  
user.CreatePermissionAsync(  
    new PermissionProperties(  
        id: "permissionUser1Orders",  
        permissionMode: PermissionMode.All,  
        container: container,  
        resourcePartitionKey: new PartitionKey("012345")));  

Code sample to read permission for user:

//Read a permission, create user client session.  
PermissionProperties permissionProperties = await user.GetPermission("permissionUser1Orders")  
  
CosmosClient client = new CosmosClient(accountEndpoint: "MyEndpoint", authKeyOrResourceToken: permissionProperties.Token);  

You can find the rest api and the permissions in below link as well:
