  const elevatedCountModifiers = auth.elevate(itemModifiers.countModifiers);

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { itemModifiers } from '@wix/restaurants';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { itemModifiers },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function countModifiers(options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.itemModifiers.countModifiers(options);
};
```
