You can view the [permissions](/docs/manage-users/access-control/rbac) assigned to a user using the <Tooltip tip="Auth0 Dashboard: Auth0's main product to configure your services." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Auth0+Dashboard">Auth0 Dashboard</Tooltip>. This task can also be performed using the <Tooltip tip="Auth0 Dashboard: Auth0's main product to configure your services." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Management+API">Management API</Tooltip>. 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](/docs/manage-users/access-control/authorization-core-vs-authorization-extension).

## Dashboard

1. Go to [Dashboard > Manage Users > Users](https://manage.auth0.com/#/users) and click the name of the user to view.
2. Click the **Permissions** view.

   <Frame>
     <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/auth0/docs/images/cdy7uua7fh8z/4vShfxoUcSpCDnM5FnAbsR/de85942623430e3cedc097addbaa2f9d/User_Details_-_Permissions_-_English.png" alt="Auth0 Dashboard User Detail list of permissions assigned to this user" />
   </Frame>

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](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/get_permissions). Be sure to replace `USER_ID` and `MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN` placeholder values with your user ID and Management API <Tooltip tip="Access Token: Authorization credential, in the form of an opaque string or JWT, used to access an API." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=access+token">access token</Tooltip>, respectively.
