# Specified users
If you grant Specified Users to an endpoint, only the members you specified from the team list can access it with their credentials.
Steps to access an API endpoint as a specific authorized user:
1. Log in using the credentials through `/apilogin` url by post method as shown below. Replace `your api key` with your API path and the API key. Replace `your email` with the email and `your password` with the password.
\
`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \`\
`-H "API-TOKEN: your api key" \`\
`-d "{ \"email\": \"your email \", \"password\": \"your password\" }" \`\
`https://console.hatchapps.com/api/apilogin`
2\. In the response you'll get an authorization token. You'll then use this token in the header as the authorization key to access the endpoint.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.hatchapps.com/api-builder/permissions/specified-users.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
