# Targetables

The Targetables capability identifies resources that define or inherit target [Users](/api-reference/users.md) and [Departments](/api-reference/departments.md). Depending on the resource, Targetables can represent participants, notification recipients, eligible voters, or responsible parties and can affect visibility.

## Direct Targetables

A resource with direct Targetables owns its assignment mode and user or department associations. Its Model Definition and endpoints define the accepted fields, assignment modes, and resource-specific effects.

## Inherited Targetables

A resource with inherited Targetables resolves users and departments through a documented parent resource. It does not accept independent assignment input unless its own endpoint documentation states otherwise.

## Relationship to Entity Permissions

Targetables do not create permission-key grants. Resources that also use resource-instance grants list [Entity Permissions](/introduction/resource-capabilities/entity-permissions.md) as a separate capability.

[Assignment and Targeting](/introduction/assignment-and-targeting.md) defines the shared request fields, assignment modes, and computed resolution rules.
