# Access Grant VC JSON-LD Context

The ESS [Access Grant Service](https://docs.inrupt.com/ess/latest/services/service-access-grant) issues Access Requests and Grants that are serialized as a [Verifiable Credentials (VCs)](https://docs.inrupt.com/reference/glossary#verifiable-credential). As part of the feature, the service provides a JSON-LD context document at:

```json
https://schema.inrupt.com/credentials/v2.jsonld
```

This context must be included in the access requests and grants sent to the ESS Access Grant Service endpoints:

<pre class="language-json"><code class="lang-json">{
  "credential": {
    "@context": [
      "https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1",
<strong>      "https://schema.inrupt.com/credentials/v2.jsonld"
</strong>    ],
   ...
}
</code></pre>

For general information on JSON-LD context, see [JSON-LD 1.1: The Context](https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#the-context).
