# List equity participants

GET https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/equity-participants

Retrieves the people who hold equity in an organization, as ingested from Shareworks, in ascending employee_number order. Use it to reconcile equity participants against HRIS records, or to feed worker identity and residence data into equity tax calculations. Records carry direct identifiers, including a full Social Security Number where the source reports one. Requires the `equities.view` permission at the organization level.

 **Token scopes**: `equities:read`
