# Inherit The `Inherit` authentication type will attempt to inherit its authentication settings from the first parent whose type is not also `Inherit`. If it fails to find such parent, it will default to [None](/documentation/authentication-settings/types/none.md). This type requires no parameters. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ostara.dev/documentation/authentication-settings/types/inherit.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
