# How to check your own permissions

There are several ways to see which permissions you have on a project, and which ones are open to you depends on the permissions you already hold:

* View your own profile from **Profile** → **Edit profile**.
* View your own profile from **Settings** → **Security** → **Users**.
* View your own permissions from **Settings** → **Security** → **Users** by expanding your row.
* Find the permissions you need with a filter.

Here's each one, starting with the easiest.

## View your own profile from Profile → Edit profile

Available if you have the `Manage personal user profile` permission.

Click the user icon in the bottom-left corner → **Edit profile**.

</Frame>

Your profile page opens. Scroll down to see all your groups and permissions.

## View your own profile from Settings → Security → Users

Available if you have the `View and export the users list` and `View users` permissions.

Go to **Settings** → **Security** → **Users**.

Find your own profile, and open it.

</Frame>

Your profile page opens. Scroll down to see all your groups and permissions.

## View your own permissions from Settings → Security → Users by expanding your row

If you can open the users page but not individual profiles — meaning you only have the `View and export the users list` permission — click the row with your details. It expands to show your access, including your permissions.

<Tip>
  The permissions each standard group grants are listed in [Permission Groups](/administration/staff/what-security-groups-are-available).

## Find the permissions you need with a filter

Another option on the users page, so you don't have to work through group permissions — use filters.

Go to **Settings** → **Security** → **Users**.

Filter your profile by username or email, then add a condition for the permission you're interested in. For example:

* The user can export personal data.
