# View permissions for a role

Use Access Analyzer to view permissions for a selected role.

## Before you begin

Role required: access\_analyzer\_admin

This procedure explains how to view the permissions for a specific role \(such as user\_admin\) on a REST API endpoint by using the Evaluate access feature in Access Analyzer.

**Note:** Access Analyzer is a ServiceNow® Store product.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Access Analyzer** > **Analyze Permissions**.

    The system displays the Analyze access and permissions home page.

2.  Select your criteria as follows:

<table id="table_cpw_mgd_qxb"><thead><tr><th>

Field

</th><th>

Description

</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>

Analyze by

</td><td>

**Role** option.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Select user

</td><td>

Role to select from the list. For example, **user\_admin**.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Rule type

</td><td>

Access for the following:-   Table
-   UI page
-   REST Endpoint
-   Client callable script include
-   AI Agent
-   Agentic workflow
For example, **REST Endpoint**.

</td></tr><tr><td>

REST endpoint

</td><td>

REST endpoint. For example, `/api/global/user_role_inheritance`.**Note:** The complete REST endpoint must be used when using the selected field.

</td></tr><tr><td>

REST endpoint method

</td><td>

REST endpoint method. For example, GET.

</td></tr></tbody>
</table>3.  Specify the description in the **Description** field.

4.  Select **Analyze permissions**.

    The **Access results** for the user\_admin role are displayed.

    The results can be read by referring to the Legends, access control list \(ACL\), IAccessHandler, and Data filters.

    The overall access for the role is `passed`, which means that the role \(user\_admin\) can access the **REST endpoint** for the selected **GET** method.
