--- title: New User scopes author_name: technoweenie --- We've added a [few new user scopes][scopes] for 3rd party applications that want very specific user functionality. The `user:email` scope gives apps read-only access to a user's private email addresses. The `user:follow` scope lets a user follow and unfollow other users. This should help keep applications from requiring the `user` scope, which can be potentially dangerous. We also added a read-only endpoint to get a user's public SSH keys.
