# List roles

`GET /zones/{zoneId}/roles`

Returns the roles defined in the specified zone. The full result set is currently returned in a single page; the `after`/`before`/`limit` cursor parameters are reserved and not yet enforced, and `pagination` cursors are always null.

## Path parameters

- `zoneId` string, required

## Query parameters

- `identifier` string
- `after` string
- `before` string
- `limit` integer
- `expand[]` union
  - 'total_count'
  - string[]

## Response `200`

Default Response

- object
  - `items` IamRole[], required
    - `id` string, required — Unique identifier of the role
    - `zone_id` string, required — Zone this role belongs to
    - `identifier` string, required — Role identifier: a lowercase slug (letters and digits separated by single hyphens or underscores), unique per owner type within a zone. Role identifiers surface in policy evaluation, so the slug restriction keeps them unambiguous in policy text.
    - `description` string, nullable — Human-readable description
    - `owner_type` 'platform' | 'customer', required — Who owns this role. Platform-owned roles are managed by Keycard and cannot be modified or deleted via the API; customer-owned roles are user-created.
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required — Entity creation timestamp
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required — Entity update timestamp
  - `pagination` IamPagination, required — Cursor-based pagination metadata
    - `after_cursor` string, required — An opaque cursor used for paginating through a list of results
    - `before_cursor` string, required — An opaque cursor used for paginating through a list of results
    - `total_count` integer — Total number of items matching the query. Only included when expand[]=total_count is requested.
