# Viewing LF-Tags assigned to a resource
<a name="TBAC-view-resource-tags"></a>

You can view the LF-Tags that are assigned to a Data Catalog resource. You must have the `DESCRIBE` or `ASSOCIATE` permission on a LF-Tag to view it.

------
#### [ Console ]

**To view the LF-Tags that are assigned to a resource (console)**

1. Open the Lake Formation console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/).

   Sign in as the data lake administrator, the resource owner, or a user who has been granted Lake Formation permissions on the resource.

1. In the navigation pane, under the heading **Data catalog**, do one of the following:
   + To view LF-Tags assigned to a database, choose **Databases**.
   + To view LF-Tags assigned to a table, choose **Tables**.

1. On the **Tables** or **Databases** page, choose the name of the database or table. Then on the details page, scroll down to the **LF-Tags** section.

   The following screenshot shows the LF-Tags assigned to a `customers` table, which is contained in the `retail` database. The `module` LF-Tag is inherited from the database. The `credit_limit` column has the `level=vp` LF-Tag assigned.  
![\[The image is a screenshot of the LF-Tags section of the customers table detail page. The LF-Tags section contains a table with the following columns: Resource, Key, Value, and Inherited from. The table has 3 rows. Above the table is a text entry field with the "Find tags" placeholder text, and an Edit tags button. The paragraph that precedes the image describes the table values shown in the screenshot.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/latest/dg/images/tags-for-resource-2.png)

#### [ AWS CLI ]

**To view the LF-Tags that are assigned to a resource (AWS CLI)**
+ Enter a command similar to the following.

  ```
  aws lakeformation get-resource-lf-tags --show-assigned-lf-tags --resource '{ "Table": {"CatalogId":"111122223333", "DatabaseName":"erp", "Name":"sales"}}'
  ```

  The command returns the following output.

  ```
  {
      "TableTags": [
          {
              "CatalogId": "111122223333",
              "TagKey": "module",
              "TagValues": [
                  "sales"
              ]
          },
          {
              "CatalogId": "111122223333",
              "TagKey": "environment",
              "TagValues": [
                  "development"
              ]
          }
      ],
      "ColumnTags": [
          {
              "Name": "total",
              "Tags": [
                  {
                      "CatalogId": "111122223333",
                      "TagKey": "level",
                      "TagValues": [
                          "director"
                      ]
                  }
              ]
          }
      ]
  }
  ```

  This output shows only LF-Tags that are explicitly assigned, not inherited. If you want to see all LF-Tags on all columns, including inherited LF-Tags, omit the `--show-assigned-lf-tags` option.
