Hello,

I am trying to update the membership criteria for an existing role through the following beta API call  
API - https://{{tenant}}.api.identitynow.com/beta//roles/:id

```json
{
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/membership",
    "value":{
        "type": "STANDARD",
        "criteria": {
            "operation": "AND",
            "key": null,
            "stringValue": null,
            "children": [
                {
                    "operation": "EQUALS",
                    "key": {
                        "type": "IDENTITY",
                        "property": "accessRequestsVisible",
                        "sourceId": null
                    },
                    "stringValue": "true",
                    "children": null
                },
                {
                    "operation": "EQUALS",
                    "key": {
                        "type": "IDENTITY",
                        "property": "cloudLifecycleState",
                        "sourceId": null
                    },
                    "stringValue": "active",
                    "children": null
                },
                {
                    "operation": "EQUALS",
                    "key": {
                        "type": "IDENTITY",
                        "property": "firstname",
                        "sourceId": null
                    },
                    "stringValue": "Mark",
                    "children": null
                }
            ]
        }     
    }
}

```

Error: 400  
The request was syntactically correct but its content is semantically invalid.  
Any insights on what’s missing here…

The request body for PATCH must be an array of operations. Your request body needs to be wrapped in `[]`. For example:

```json
[
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/membership",
    "value":{
       ...
    }
  }
]

```
