# Evaluate a Decision Request

##

```none
POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/decisionEndpoints/{{decisionEndpointID}}
```

The `POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/decisionEndpoints/{{decisionEndpointID}}` operation executes a decision request against the decision endpoint specified by its ID in the request URL. The request body requires the `parameters` property. The `userContext` property is optional.

For property descriptions, refer to [Policy decision evaluation request data model](../decision-evaluation.html#policy-decision-evaluation-request-data-model).

### Prerequisites

* Refer to [Authorization Decisions](../decision-endpoints.html) for important overview information.

* Create a decision endpoint to get a `decisionEndpointID`. Refer to [Create Decision Endpoint](../decision-endpoints/create-decision-endpoint.html). Run [Read All Decision Endpoints](../decision-endpoints/read-all-decision-endpoints.html) to find an existing endpoint.

* Run an accept agreement request to get an `consentID`. Refer to [Accept Agreement](../../../platform/users/user-agreement-consents/accept-agreement.html). Run [Read All User Agreement Consents](../../../platform/users/user-agreement-consents/read-all-user-agreement-consents.html) to find an existing agreement.

* Create a user to get a `userID`. Refer to [Create User](../../../platform/users/users-1/create-user.html). Run [Read User or Users](../../../platform/users/users-1/read-all-users.html) to find an existing user.
