Approve a role mapping

POST /v1/connections/{connection_id}/role-mappings/{mapping_id}:approve · permissions connections:write and roles:write

Approves a mapping whose role became privileged after the mapping was created; after approval, sign-in grants the role again. Requires roles:write in addition to connections:write. A mapping to a non-privileged role needs no approval (409 conflict); approving an approved mapping changes nothing. The write is audited as role_mapping.approved.

Request

`connection_id`	path	yes	Enterprise connection ID (`conn_…`).
`mapping_id`	path	yes	Role mapping ID (`rmp_…`).

No request body.

Response
