# Discover valid status transitions for a workflow

`GET /credentialing-workflows/{workflowId}/timeline-events/status-options`

Returns the timeline event status options available to the current user for the credentialing workflow identified by `workflowId`. Results are filtered by the caller's permissions — only transitions the caller is authorized to create are returned. Call this endpoint before `POST /credentialing-workflows/{workflowId}/timeline-events` to determine which `name` values are valid and which additional parameters each transition requires. Returns a `StatusOptionsResponse` object.
