Get your effective workspace permissions ​

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/permissions/me/

Return your relation on the workspace and every permission you hold there, in one call. Use it to set up a client once, for example to hide controls a user can't use.

The response is a fixed object with two keys, relation and permission_grants. See the effective permissions object. It doesn't take ?fields= or ?expand=.

  • relation is the role you hold directly on the workspace: owner, admin, member, guest, or a custom role's slug. It is null when you hold no grant on the workspace itself.
  • permission_grants covers every resource type Plane knows, sorted. Each entry is <resource_type>:<action>. A permission you hold only under a condition appears once per condition, with the condition as a suffix, for example wiki:delete+creator. Permissions you don't hold are left out.

The answer is about the workspace, so a role you hold on one project doesn't change it. For a project, call Get your effective project permissions.

Every answer is about the caller. Any member of the workspace can call this endpoint, guests included.

Path Parameters ​

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs. In https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

Scopes ​

workspaces.permissions:read. The global read scope doesn't satisfy this endpoint.
