# Get content restriction status for user

`GET /wiki/rest/api/content/{id}/restriction/byOperation/{operationKey}/user`

Returns whether the specified content restriction applies to a user.
For example, if a page with `id=123` has a `read` restriction for a user with an account ID of
`384093:32b4d9w0-f6a5-3535-11a3-9c8c88d10192`, the following request will return `true`:

`/wiki/rest/api/content/123/restriction/byOperation/read/user?accountId=384093:32b4d9w0-f6a5-3535-11a3-9c8c88d10192`

Note that a response of `true` does not guarantee that the user can view the page, as it does not account for
account-inherited restrictions, space permissions, or even product access. For more
information, see [Confluence permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/_AozKw).

**[Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/_AozKw) required**:
