Hi there,

I’m trying to integrate auth0 management api in one of my project.

My use case is pretty simple.

**Create custom roles & permissions and assign permissions to role.**

These are the steps I followed in the development

**1. Create custom roles using management api**

- For this, I have used [management api](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Roles/post_roles) which is working fine.

**2. Create permission from dashboard instead of management api**

- In management api explorer, I could not find any way to create permission.
- Then I tried to use [associate permission with role api](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Roles/post_role_permission_assignment) to create permission but got this error " [System APIs may not be used:](https://community.auth0.com/t/system-apis-may-not-be-used/63648)"
- After researching quite a bit, I realised, I need to create a custom api and apply permissions to it like shown in screenshot below which I did from the dashboard.
- Still If there is any api which I can use to create permission, please let me know.

**3. Get list of permissions from custom api (Need Help Here)**

- My question is, how can I get a list of permissions created inside custom api as shown in the screenshot above. I couldn’t find any api for retrieving permissions in management api explorer.

I’m totally stuck here. Really appreciate some help here.

Hi @reachsagarshah,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

It sounds like you are looking for the [resource server endpoints](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2?#!/Resource_Servers/get_resource_servers). _Resource server_ is the same as _API_ in this context. You can use the [  
PATCH /api/v2/resource-servers/{id}](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Resource_Servers/patch_resource_servers_by_id) to update the resource server’s _scopes_. Scopes = permissions.
