 #### Permission groups
 
-Determine what permission groups should be applied. Refer to the full list of permission groups either in [the documentation](/fundamentals/api/reference/permissions/) or fetch the permission groups [via the API](/api/resources/user/subresources/tokens/subresources/permission_groups/methods/list/). It is only required to pass the `id` of the permission group in the policy. Permission groups are scoped to specific resources, so a permission group in a policy will only apply to the resource type it is scoped for.
+Add permission groups to the API token by specifying their `id` values. We recommend using `id` as the key for interacting with Cloudflare APIs; the permission `name` is cosmetic and subject to change. Permission groups are scoped to specific resources (user, account, or zone), so a permission group in a policy will only apply to the resource type it is scoped for.
+
+To fetch all available permission groups and their IDs, use the [List permission groups](/api/resources/user/subresources/tokens/subresources/permission_groups/methods/list/) endpoint:
+
+<APIRequest
+  path="/user/tokens/permission_groups"
+  method="GET"
+/>
