Get My Permissions

GET/me/permissions
Get a flat list of everything the current user is allowed to do. While roles are groups of permissions, this endpoint gives you the actual permission strings (like `events.create` or `venues.read`) so you can check exactly what actions are allowed. Perfect for building permission-aware UIs where you need to show/hide buttons or features based on what the user can actually do.

When to use this

  • Showing or hiding UI elements based on permissions
  • Checking if a user can perform a specific action before trying it
  • Building admin panels that adapt to user access levels

Parameters

resourcequery
string

Filter by resource (e.g., events, accounts, orders)

actionquery
string

Filter by action (e.g., create, read, update, delete)

Response

Permissions retrieved successfully

Notes

ℹ️Permissions follow the format `resource.action` (e.g., `events.create`, `venues.delete`). Some include a scope like `events.read:own`.
💡Cache these on the client after login-they don't change often and save you repeated API calls.
Code Samples

Get My Permissions using the TypeScript SDK:

import { BackstageClient } from '@ticketlayer/backstage';

const client = new BackstageClient({
  organisationSlug: 'your-org',
});
client.setAccessToken('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN');

// Get mypermission details
const mypermission = await client.users.get('{{MYPERMISSIONS_ID}}');

console.log(`MyPermissions: ${mypermission.name || mypermission.id}`);
