# `/sys/capabilities-self`
|
||
|
||
The `/sys/capabilities-self` endpoint is used to fetch the capabilities of the
|
||
token used to make the API call, on the given paths. The capabilities returned
|
||
will be derived from the policies that are on the token, and from the policies
|
||
to which the token is entitled to through the entity and entity's group
|
||
memberships.
|
||
|
||
## Query Self Capabilities
|
||
|
||
This endpoint returns the capabilities of client token on the given paths. The

|
||

|
||
returned. For backwards compatibility, if a single path is supplied, a
|
||
`capabilities` field will also be returned.
