View User Permissions

Learn how to view permissions assigned to a user using the Auth0 Dashboard and Management API.

You can view the permissions assigned to a user using the Auth0 Dashboard. This task can also be performed using the Management API. The assigned permissions are used with the API Authorization Core feature set.

Prerequisites

For role-based access control (RBAC) to work properly, you must enable it for your API using either the Dashboard or the Management API. The Authorization Core functionality is different from the Authorization Extension. For a comparison, read Authorization Core vs. Authorization Extension.

Dashboard

1. Go to Dashboard > Manage Users > Users and click the name of the user to view.

2. Click the Permissions view.

   

The following information is displayed for each permission:

Column	Description
Name	Name of the permission from the permission definition.
Description	Description of the permission from the permission definition.
API	Name of the API to which the permission is attached.
Assignment	Indicates whether the permission is directly assigned to the user or is assigned via a role.

Management API

Make a GET call to the Get User Permissions endpoint. Be sure to replace USER_ID and MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN placeholder values with your user ID and Management API access token, respectively.

Value	Description
USER_ID	Τhe ID of the user for whom you want to get permissions.
MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN	Access Token for the Management API with the scope read:users.
