API Reference

Update a custom Role

patch
https://api.wingspan.app/v3/platform/roles/

System roles are immutable; updating one returns 403 Forbidden.

Requires a session with recent MFA step-up for HighRiskWriteAction. If step-up is missing or expired, this operation returns 403 StepUpMfaRequired; create and verify an MFA challenge at /v3/platform/mfa-challenges with requiredFor: "HighRiskWriteAction", then retry.

Path Params
string
required
^(role_[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+|[A-Z][a-z0-9]+(?:[A-Z][a-z0-9]+)*)$

Role identifier. System roles use PascalCase ids (for example Admin or PayableManager); custom roles use role_<id>. The old system role ids role_admin and role_officer are accepted and resolve to Admin.

Body Params

Partial update — name, description, scopePermissions. Owner is immutable; system roles are read-only. PATCH semantics: omitted fields are left unchanged; explicit null clears nullable fields.

string
string | null
scopes
array of strings
deprecated

scopePermissions

metadata
object

Free-form key-value pairs. Max 50 keys; key length at most 40 characters; value length at most 500 characters. Where a list endpoint declares metadata filtering, it uses the QueryQL namespace via filter[metadata.{key}][eq]=value or filter[metadata.{key}][in][]=value. Endpoints that do not declare the dynamic Metadata filter do not support Metadata filtering.

Headers
string
length between 1 and 255
^[\x21-\x7e]{1,255}$

Optional idempotency token for authenticated POST and PATCH requests. Reusing the same key and body returns the cached response for 24 hours, except credential operations that explicitly document a 409 because one-time secret material is never cached; reusing it with a different body returns 409 IdempotencyKeyConflict. Use 1-255 printable ASCII characters.

string
^(?:[A-Za-z0-9_.]{22}|[a-f0-9]{24})$

Select the Account for an Account-scoped operation. A direct ServiceAccount API key MUST supply this header, and the target must be within the ServiceAccount owner's or Authorization grant's Account boundary. A Person bearer may select an Account on which it has an active Stakeholder, and an Account session may select its bound Account (or a descendant only when the session explicitly includes descendants).
