# cannedConsentPurposes

query · in the family [Reading your records](/reference/reading-your-records/)

## What it does

The canned consent purpose list — each entry is a platform-preset consent purpose you can copy into your group.

The 6 canned consent-purpose templates: copy via copyCannedConsentPurpose. NOT a construct list (bounded 6 — the cannedRoles roster class; untouched). Requires authentication.

## What happens

Reads only — changes nothing.

## Returns

[CannedConsentPurpose](/types/CannedConsentPurpose/) `[CannedConsentPurpose!]!` — One canned consent-purpose template: usable via copyCannedConsentPurpose → an ordinary EDITABLE group ConsentPurpose (fork semantics — a copy never auto-revs).
