# 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. <br>

Steps to access an API endpoint as a specific authorized user:&#x20;

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`<br>

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. <br>
