# Reject a deprovision hold

`POST /v1/directories/{directory_id}/deprovision-holds/{hold_id}:reject` · permission `directories:write`

Rejects the directory's mass deprovision hold: the held deprovisions are discarded and the affected records are marked drifted. Audited as `directory.deprovision_hold_rejected`. A hold that is no longer open, or one past its 72-hour timeout (it is approved by the timeout and this decision is not applied), returns `409 conflict`.

## Request

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `directory_id` | path | yes | SCIM directory ID (`dir_…`). |
| `hold_id` | path | yes | The hold ID: `open_deprovision_hold.id` of `GET /v1/directories/{directory_id}` (lower-case UUID). |

There is no request body.

## Response

`200 OK` with the decision.
