# Authorization

## Authorization Types

* [No auth](/working-with-project/authorization.md#no-auth) 
* [Inherit from parent](/working-with-project/authorization.md#inherit-from-parent) 
* [Basic auth ](/working-with-project/authorization.md#basic-auth)
* [Bearer auth](/working-with-project/authorization.md#bearer-auth) 
* [Digest Auth](/working-with-project/authorization.md#digest-auth) 
* [OAuth 1.0](/working-with-project/authorization.md#oauth-1-0)

{% hint style="info" %}
You can use [environment variables](/variables/env.md) as the Username, Password, Token, and other authorization parameters.
{% endhint %}

## No auth 

Use the No Auth type if you don't need authorization while sending a request.

## Inherit from parent 

**By default** authorization parameters are inherited from the parent node. If the parameters are not specified, the [No auth](/working-with-project/authorization.md#no-auth) type is used.

## Basic auth

The type is used when login and password are required for sending a request.

#### Using Basic auth

Open the request and click on the Authorization tab and choose Digest auth. Set the Username and Password in the corresponding fields.

## Bearer auth 

Bearer auth is a token based authorization. Any user with the bearer token can use it to get the access to the resources.

#### Using Bearer auth

Open the request and click on the Authorization tab and choose Bearer auth. Set the token in the token field.

## Digest Auth 

Using this method, you send a hashed login, password, the server url and nonce values, which provides a higher security level than basic authorization, where you send data with no encryption.

#### Using Digest Auth

Open the request and click on the Authorization tab and choose Digest auth. Set the Username and Password in the corresponding fields.

## OAuth 1.0

OAuth 1.0 allows you to access protected resources without exposing your login and password.

#### Using OAuth 1.0

Open the request and click on the Authorization tab and choose OAuth 1.0. Input required data in the fields.
