# Retrieve a custom field

To retrieve a custom deal field, the following permissions are required.

* Deal permission: the user should have permission to manage deals.
* Pipeline-specific permission: the user should have permission to manage the pipeline that the deal belongs to. If the user does not have the permission to manage the pipeline, limited deal data are returned with only `id`, `title`, and `isDisabled` set to `1`.
