+---
+
+# `/sys/activation-flags`
+
+@include 'alerts/restricted-root.mdx'
+
+Use the `/sys/activation-flags` endpoints to read and manage Vault
+features that are gated by one-time flags. Gated features are
+blocked and return errors until activated. Once removed, you cannot
+un-activate gated features.
+
+## ReadActivationFlags
+
+ReadActivationFlags is an unauthenticated endpoint that returns information
+about gated features and their activation status as two lists: `activated` and
+`unactivated`. The activated list contains features ready to be used. The
+unactivated list contains **available** but gated features. It filters out those
+which are already active within your Vault instance.
