# Get a role by id

> Retrieve a single staff role by its id, including its pages and permissions. Requires the READ_ROLES scope.

Returns one staff role with its granted pages and permissions; roles are read-only for apps. The store is bound to your app token server-side — never send a shop id.

  description: >-
    Read the store's account configuration — domains, staff roles and payout
    methods — and manage its identity verification (KYC) from an installed
    third-party app. Every endpoint authenticates with an installed-app access
    token (prefix `app_`) and requires a specific OAuth scope. The target store
    is bound to the token server-side from the installation — never send a shop
    id. Domains, roles and payouts are read-only for apps: their
    create/update/delete operations are owner-only and are not exposed here.

        Returns a single staff role by its id, including its granted pages and
        permissions. Roles are read-only for apps; updating or deleting a role
        is owner-only and is not exposed here. Returns 404 if the role does not
        exist or does not belong to the installation's store. Requires the
        `READ_ROLES` scope and returns 403 if the token is missing it. The store
        is bound to the app token server-side from the installation — never send
        a shop id.
