## Required Scopes

To add a scope to an API token, you must also add its required scopes. For example, to add a non-read scope for a resource type, you must also add the read scope for that resource type.

The following scopes are required for `database:read`:

| Scope | Description |
|---|---|
| [`regions:read`](../../regions/read) | View data center regions |
| [`sizes:read`](../../sizes/read) | View Droplet plan sizes |
| [`actions:read`](../../actions/read) | View events of shared resources that have occurred in the current team |
