# GetEffectiveOntologyOwners

`POST /textql.rpc.public.patches.OntologyManagementService/GetEffectiveOntologyOwners`

## Headers

- `Connect-Protocol-Version` 1, required — Define the version of the Connect protocol
- `Connect-Timeout-Ms` number — Define the timeout, in ms

## Request body

- TextqlRpcPublicPatchesGetEffectiveOntologyOwnersRequest — Returns the *effective* owners for a directory after walking ancestor OWNERS files: for every role in the org, the resolved permission the role would have on this directory (per `permissionForDirWithRoles`). Use this when you need to compare permissions across paths — the literal GetOntologyOwners only reflects the OWNERS file at the exact path, missing inheritance.
