# New access scopes added to the Validation GraphQL Admin API

As of today, the `read_validations` access scope will be required for the `validation` and `validations` queries. The `write_validations` access scope is required if you're using the `validationCreate`, `validationUpdate` or `validationDelete` mutations.

If you're building an extension for Cart and Checkout Validation configuration check our updated tutorial on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/checkout/validation/create-complex-validation-rules/build-ui) to see how to update it so that you don't need the new access scope.
