Can someone share the request body and URL information to update Role attriutes like role owner, displayname etc… ?

I am getting below error

url/cc/api/role/update/

request body
{
“id”:“”,
“owner”:“”
}

{
“msg_template”: “NotFoundException: Identity with ID or name 2c9180877a83ae10017aa423f79b45c4 was not found.”,

There is now a beta collection for managing roles. Take a look at PATCH /roles/{id}. The beta collection is going to have better documentation and support than the /cc version.

An example of updating the owner and name of a role might look like this:

PATCH /beta/roles/{id}

Request body:

[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/owner",
        "value": {
            "type": "IDENTITY",
            "id": "2c9180a46faadee4016fb4e018c20639"
        },
    },
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/name",
        "value": "New role name"
    }
]

@colin_mckibben - I have noticed that , owner update looking for identityname as well along with identity id. When we have input just identity ID , API return the 200 response but owner is getting updated in IDN. But when I tried with name ( along with ID) , role getting owner update. can you please check and confirm the same?

@sureshkumar_v,

Yes, you are correct. The docs are currently incorrect regarding the example for updating the owner of a role. Here is the correct PATCH body for updating the owner and name of a role.

[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/owner",
        "value": {
            "type": "IDENTITY",
            "id": "2c9180a46faadee4016fb4e018c20639",
            "name": "identity name here"
        }
    },
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/name",
        "value": "New role name"
    }
]

I will put in a ticket to get the docs fixed. Thank you for pointing this out!
