Here’s a cURL command that works for getting the home dashboard when you are running Grafana locally with [basic authentication]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/#basic-auth" >}}) enabled using the default admin credentials:

To pass a username and password with [HTTP basic authorization]({{< relref "/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/manage-rbac-roles/" >}}), encode them as base64.
You can't use authorization tokens in the request.
For example, to [list permissions associated with roles]({{< relref "/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/manage-rbac-roles/" >}}) given a username of `user` and password of `password`, use:
```
curl --location --request GET '<grafana_url>/api/access-control/builtin-roles' --header 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZAo='
```
where `dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZAo=` is the base64 encoding of `user:password`.
