# Pass Identity Headers (per route)

## Summary

When set to true, the **Pass Identity Headers (per route)** setting will pass identity headers to the upstream application.

The default value for this setting is controlled by the [global-level Pass Identity Headers](https://www.pomerium.com/docs/reference/pass-identity-headers.md) setting.

Identity headers include:

- `X-Pomerium-Jwt-Assertion`
- `X-Pomerium-Claim-*` (see [JWT Claim Headers](https://www.pomerium.com/docs/reference/jwt-claim-headers.md) for more information)
