# ShowPermissions

The `ShowPermissions` action returns information on whether a specified IP address is allowed to send query actions or administrative actions to the action port.

For users that belong to the `Admin` standard role (see Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters), the `ShowPermissions` response also includes information about the rules that are used to define whether a particular client IP address has particular permissions.

## Example

    action=ShowPermissions&IP=12.3.4.56

This action checks whether the machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56` is allowed to send actions to the port. If you send the action as a user that belongs to the `Admin` standard role, the action returns the following information:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

If you send the action as a user that does not belong to the `Admin` role, the action does not return the `<autn:rules>` section of the response.

Alternatively you can specify the action without an IP address, in which case Web Connector returns the permissions information for the referring IP address.
