Update team

For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt. For the full documentation snapshot, see llms-full.txt.

Perform a partial update to a team. Updating a team uses the semantic patch format.

To make a semantic patch request, you must append domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch to your Content-Type header. To learn more, read Updates using semantic patch.

Instructions

Semantic patch requests support the following kind instructions for updating teams. Several of the instructions require one or more member IDs as parameters. The member ID is returned as part of the List account members response. It is the _id field of each element in the items array.

addCustomRoles

Adds custom roles to the team. Team members will have these custom roles granted to them.

Parameters

• values: List of custom role keys.

Here’s an example:

{
  "instructions": [{
    "kind": "addCustomRoles",
    "values": [ "example-custom-role" ]
  }]
}

addMembers

Adds members to the team.

Parameters

• values: List of member IDs to add.

Here’s an example:

{
  "instructions": [{
    "kind": "addMembers",
    "values": [ "1234a56b7c89d012345e678f", "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011" ]
  }]
}

addPermissionGrants

Adds permission grants to members for the team. For example, a permission grant could allow a member to act as a team maintainer. A permission grant may have either an actionSet or a list of actions but not both at the same time. The members do not have to be team members to have a permission grant for the team.

Parameters

• actionSet: Name of the action set.
• actions: List of actions.
• memberIDs: List of member IDs.

Here’s an example:

{
  "instructions": [{
    "kind": "addPermissionGrants",
    "actions": [ "updateTeamName", "updateTeamDescription" ],
    "memberIDs": [ "1234a56b7c89d012345e678f", "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011" ]
  }]
}

addRoleAttribute

Adds a role attribute to a team. Team members will have these role attribute values scoped for all custom roles granted to them.

Parameters

• key: The role attribute key to add.
• values: List of role attribute values for that key.

Here’s an example:

{
  "instructions": [
    {
      "kind": "addRoleAttribute",
      "key": "testAttribute",
      "values": ["someNewValue", "someOtherNewValue"]
    }
  ]
}

removeCustomRoles

Removes custom roles from the team. The app will no longer grant these custom roles to the team members.

Parameters

• values: List of custom role keys.

Here’s an example:

{
  "instructions": [{
    "kind": "removeCustomRoles",
    "values": [ "example-custom-role" ]

  }]
}

removePermissionGrants

Parameters

• memberIDs: List of member IDs.

Here’s an example:

{
  "instructions": [{

Expanding the teams response

LaunchDarkly supports four fields for expanding the “Update team” response. By default, these fields are not included in the response.

To expand the response, append the expand query parameter and add a comma-separated list with any of the following fields:

• members includes the total count of members that belong to the team.
• roles includes a paginated list of the custom roles that you have assigned to the team.
• projects includes a paginated list of the projects that the team has any write access to.
• maintainers includes a paginated list of the maintainers that you have assigned to the team.

For example, expand=members,roles includes the members and roles fields in the response.
