Listing the current user's policies shows all policies that apply to the authenticated user, including those assigned directly, inherited through roles, and inherited through groups. This provides a complete view of your effective permissions.

This guide explains how to list the current user's policies using the Vultr API.

Send a `GET` request to the [**List Current User's Policies** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/users/operation/list-iam-current-user-policies) to retrieve all policies for the authenticated user.

```console
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/users/me/policies" \
    -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
```
