# Viewing the resources that a LF-Tag is assigned to
<a name="TBAC-view-tag-resources"></a>

You can view all the Data Catalog resources that a particular LF-Tag key is assigned to. To do so, you need the following Lake Formation permissions:
+ `Describe` or `Associate` on the LF-Tag.
+ `Describe` or any other Lake Formation permission on the resource.

In addition, you need the following AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions:
+ `lakeformation:SearchDatabasesByLFTags`
+ `lakeformation:SearchTablesByLFTags`

#### [ Console ]

**To view the resources that a LF-Tag is assigned to (console)**

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

   Sign in as a data lake administrator or as a user who meets the requirements listed earlier.

1. In the navigation pane, under **Permissions** and **LF-Tags and permissions**, choose **LF-Tags**.

1. Choose a LF-Tag key (not the option button next to the key name).

   The LF-Tag details page displays a list of resources that the LF-Tag has been assigned to.  
![\[The image is a screenshot of the LF-Tag detail page for the key "module". The LF-Tag detail page has two sections. The top section displays the LF-Tag key and values. The bottom section displays the resources associated with that LF-Tag in a table with the following columns: Key, Values, Resource type, and Resource. The table has 12 rows, but only 7 are shown in the screenshot. The table rows show that the LF-Tag is assigned to a database, two of the tables in the database, and by inheritance, the columns of those tables.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/latest/dg/images/resources-on-tags-2.png)

#### [ AWS CLI ]

**To view the resources that a LF-Tag is assigned to**
+ Run a `search-tables-by-lf-tags` or `search-databases-by-lf-tags` command.  
**Example**  

  The following example lists tables and columns that have the `level=vp` LF-Tag assigned. For each table and column listed, all assigned LF-Tags for the table or column are output, not just the search expression.

  ```
  aws lakeformation search-tables-by-lf-tags --expression TagKey=level,TagValues=vp
  ```
