# Get value list privileges

- Server: `https://{kibana_url}`

## Paths

- `GET` `/api/lists/privileges`
- `GET` `/s/{space_id}/api/lists/privileges`

- [Api key auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/authentication#apikeyauth)
- [Basic auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/authentication#basicauth)

## Description

Refer to [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/manage-spaces) for more information.

Returns the caller's authentication state and the Elasticsearch `cluster`, `index`, and `application`
privileges for `.lists` and `.items` data streams in the current Kibana space. Use this to decide which list
APIs (`read` vs `all` operations) are available before you create or import lists.
