Update a project member ​

PATCH/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/projects/{project_id}/members/{pk}/

Change a project membership, such as the role it grants. Members are the people on a workspace or project, and the role each one holds. Send only the keys you want to change. Omitted keys keep their current value, and an explicit null clears a nullable field.

Path parameters ​

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs. In https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

project_id:requiredstring

The project the resource belongs to. Accepts the project UUID or its bare identifier, for example ENG.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The project member id.

Body parameters ​

member_id:optionalstring (uuid)

Id of the user this membership belongs to.

role:optionalstring

The role slug to grant in this project.

Response shaping ​

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return. Fields you don't request are left out of the response instead of coming back as null. id is always included. Pass all to get every requestable field. An unknown field name returns 400. See Sparse fields.

Requestable here: id, member_id, role.

expand:optionalstring

Comma-separated relations to embed: member.

Expanded objects get their own key: ?expand=state keeps state_id and adds a state object next to it. ?fields= and ?expand= work independently. Naming a relation in ?fields= returns 400, and field filtering never removes an expanded object. See Expanding relations.

Scopes ​
