# physicalFacility

query · in the family [Physical facility](/reference/physical-facility/)

## What it does

Look up one record — a physical facility — an actual building (a store, a warehouse).

A PhysicalFacility by id, within the caller's OWN org-group family; requires authentication. A cross-tenant id reads as null (not-found) AND trips the rootId tripwire server-side.

## What happens

Reads only — changes nothing.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Reading your records** — Looking up and listing the records of your organization.

- Owner
- System Administrator
- Manager
- Associate Manager
- Warehouse Associate
- Sales Associate
- An API key whose scope allows `api:physicalFacility`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | The id of the record. |

## Returns

[PhysicalFacility](/types/PhysicalFacility/) — A physical facility — an actual location of an Organization (parent = the org, NOT the family root); holds no address of its own — it references a PhysicalFacilityLocation (two or more orgs may share one PFL). NOT a policy level.
