Root tokens are particularly useful inside [functions](!alias-aiw4aimie9) to authenticate requests against the service's API. The input `event` for functions carries a _temporary_ root token that you can access as follows:

```js
module.exports = function(event) {
export default event => {

const rootToken = event.context.graphcool.pat
const { rootToken } = event.context.graphcool;

// ...

}
```

> `pat` stands for _permanent access token_ which is the deprecated term for a root token.
> you may see references to `pat` (_permanent access token_), which is depreciated in favor of `rootToken`.

When using the `fromEvent` function from [`graphcool-lib`](https://github.com/graphcool/graphcool-lib) to create a GraphQL client for your service's API, the root token will automatically be set in the `Authorization` header.
