Function of which to create an instance with elevated permissions.

sourceFunction

Function

Allows a site visitor to call a function without the required permissions.





__Warning__:
The `elevate()` function enables site visitors to call functions without the required permissions. 
Exercise caution when using this function to prevent security vulnerabilities.




The `elevate()` function receives a function requiring permissions and returns an instance of the same function that any site visitor can run. 

Some functions require specific [roles and permissions](https://support.wix.com/en/article/roles-permissions-overview) to run. 
Other functions may limit functionality depending on the the visitor's roles and permissions. 
Using `elevate()` bypasses the permissions by elevating the site visitor's permissions to the highest level.


For example, the `wix-bookings-backend` function `confirmBooking()` requires [Bookings Admin](https://support.wix.com/en/article/roles-permissions-overview#bookings-admin) permissions. 
Use `elevate()` to allow any visitor to run `confirmBooking()`.

```javascript
const myElevatedConfirmBooking = elevate(bookings.confirmBooking);
```
 
> **Notes:** 
> + The `elevate()` function can only be used in the backend.
> + Some functions have a `suppressAuth` option for overriding permissions. For these functions, use `suppressAuth` instead of `elevate()`. Check your function's reference documentation to see whether `suppressAuth` or `elevate()` is supported.
