### Command: user permissions

The `fides user permissions` command can be used to list the scopes available for the currently logged in user.

The `permissions` command requires a valid local credentials file with access token. To learn more about creating a credentials file see the [Logging into Fides Server from the CLI](/content/docs/cli-reference/webserver/index.html) guide.

## Usage [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/cli-reference/auth/cmd-permissions#usage/index.html)

Usage: `fides user permissions`

The command will list all scopes available for the current, logged in user.
