# XUserPrivilegeDenyReason

Specifies the reason a user could not obtain a privilege.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
enum class XUserPrivilegeDenyReason  : uint32_t  
{  
    None = 0,  
    PurchaseRequired = 1,  
    Restricted = 2,  
    Banned = 3,  
    Unknown = 0xFFFFFFFF  
}  
```

## Constants

| Constant         | Description                     |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |
| None             | No reason.                      |
| PurchaseRequired | The user must make a purchase.  |
| Restricted       | Restrictions on the user exist. |
| Banned           | A ban on the user exists.       |
| Unknown          | Unknown reason.                 |

## Remarks

To check if a user has a specific privilege, call the [XUserCheckPrivilege](/reference/system/xuser/functions/xusercheckprivilege) function. The function accepts a pointer to an XUserPrivilegeDenyReason enumeration as an argument. The function returns an [XUserPrivilege](/reference/system/xuser/enums/xuserprivilege) enumeration.
