I’m new to auth0 and I have a website built with flask, one of the functions of the site is creating posts, and I want that only specific roles like admin could access that route (I already made the admin role in the dashboard and gave it permissions).  
I asked a friend who uses auth0 and angular and he told me he uses a function called AuthGuard, and I wanted to know if there is an equivalent to this func in python?

Hello Eliya,

We have this documented here: [Python API: Authorization#protect-api-endpoints](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/backend/python/01-authorization#protect-api-endpoints)

As you can see in the example, the `/api/private-scoped` route is available for authenticated requests containing an Access Token with the `read:messages` scope granted.

Note that to get the scopes, you will need to [pass the audience](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/backend/python/01-authorization#create-a-flask-application) of your [API](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/backend/python/01-authorization#create-an-api).

Please let me know if you have follow-up questions.

Thanks,  
Art
