Introduction

Important actions and features that users can perform on the platform are known as capabilities.

​

Capability shape

A capability has the following shape:

{
  "code": "trades",
  "name": "Trades",
  "enabled": true,
  "requirements": [
    "user-must-submit-identity",
    "user-must-submit-customer-due-diligence",
    "user-must-submit-proof-of-address"
  ],
  "restrictions": []
}

​

Enable / Disabled

When the capability has enabled set to false, then it has at least one restriction that prevents the user from performing the action. In this situation, there is nothing the user can do to enable the capability.

When the capability is enabled, the user is able to perform the action but may be subject to requirements, if any. The requirements are usually tied to KYC processes or Terms of Service that were not accepted.
