# Get a workspace's default workflow permissions

> A workspace's policy for its repositories' job tokens: default_workflow_permissions (read, the default, or write) is what a repository made from now on gets until it chooses; max_workflow_permissions (write, the default, or read) is the most any repository's default may be, so read holds every repository to read-only; can_approve_pull_request_reviews (off by default) lets its repositories allow jobs to open and approve pull requests.

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
