};
```

### getAttachment (with elevated permissions)

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

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


async function getAttachment(identifiers) {
  const response = await myWixClient.attachments.getAttachment(identifiers);
};
```
