title: Read Only Client
---

## Read Only API (admin_api_readonly Scope)

The addition of the admin_api_readonly scope allows you to create a client that has read only access to the Users endpoint of AdminUI API. This allows a client to access user information but not manipulate it in any way.

## Creating a Read Only Client

Creating a client to use the admin_api_readonly scope is the same as creating any other client, however, when assigning the permitted API Scopes to the client, instead of assigning the admin_api scope, we instead assign the admin_api_readonly scope.
