# needsAttention

query · in the family [Your own session](/reference/your-own-session/)

## What it does

Your own worklist in this organization — overdue tasks first, then upcoming, then the rest, ranked for you.

Render verbatim. Requires authentication (user sessions — an api key has no worklist).

## What happens

Read-only and personal: it shows your work, never anyone else’s.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Your own session** — What every signed-in person may do for themselves — their session, their profile and their own work.

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

## Returns

[NeedsAttentionEntry](/types/NeedsAttentionEntry/) `[NeedsAttentionEntry!]!` — Render VERBATIM — the server already ranked (overdue first; no client filtering by construction).
