Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Add, update, or remove a user's roles within an organization or project. By default, any new non-global organization and project roles in the payload send users an invitation to the organization or project first. You can add users directly to an organization or project only if you set the mms.user.bypassInviteForExistingUsers setting to true.

Resource

Base URL: https://{OPSMANAGER-HOST}:{PORT}/api/public/v1.0
