The **Access results** for the **user\_admin** role is displayed.
The results can be read by referring to the Legends, access control list \(ACL\), IAccesshandler, and Data filters.
The overall access for the role is `passed`, which means that the role \(**user\_admin**\) is able to access the **REST endpoint** for the selected **GET** method.
