Replace the permissions of an organization role

PUT /v1/organizations/{org_id}/roles/{role_id}/permissions · permission roles:write

Replaces the organization role's permission set (at most 100). Every permission must be on the environment's organization custom role list (GET /v1/org-custom-role-permissions), otherwise permission_not_allowed. Organization roles need the org_custom_roles plan feature (Business) and the environment setting org_custom_roles_enabled. If-Match is optional. The change is audited as role.updated with change=permissions.

Request

Field Type Required Description
org_id path yes Organization ID (org_…).
role_id path yes Role ID (rol_…) of a role of this organization.
If-Match header no Current ETag; 412 when it does not match.
permission_ids string[] yes The full set of permission IDs (perm_…), at most 100.

Response

200 OK with the role and its ETag.
