# Activate dock

`POST /api/logistics/pvt/configuration/docks/{dockId}/activation`

Activates a [loading dock](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/loading-dock--5DY8xHEjOLYDVL41Urd5qj) of your store's [shipping strategy](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/shipping-strategy--58vLBDbjYVQzJ6rRc5QNz3), searching by dock ID.

## Permissions

Any user or [API key](https://developers.vtex.com/docs/guides/api-authentication-using-api-keys) must have at least one of the appropriate [License Manager resources](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/license-manager-resources--3q6ztrC8YynQf6rdc6euk3) to be able to successfully run this request. Otherwise they will receive a status code `403` error. These are the applicable resources for this endpoint:

| **Product** | **Category** | **Resource** |
| --------------- | ----------------- | ----------------- |
| Logistics | Logistics access | **Logistics full access** |

You can [create a custom role](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/roles--7HKK5Uau2H6wxE1rH5oRbc#creating-a-role) with that resource or use one of the following [predefined roles](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/predefined-roles--jGDurZKJHvHJS13LnO7Dy):

| **Role** | **Resource** | 
| --------------- | ----------------- | 
| Logistics - Full access | Logistics full access |
| OMS - Full access | Logistics full access |

>❗ Assigning a [predefined role](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/predefined-roles--jGDurZKJHvHJS13LnO7Dy) to users or application keys usually grants permission to multiple [License Manager resources](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/license-manager-resources--3q6ztrC8YynQf6rdc6euk3). If some of these permissions are not necessary, consider creating a custom role instead. For more information regarding security, see [Best practices for using application keys](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/best-practices-api-keys--7b6nD1VMHa49aI5brlOvJm).
