Creating Permissions through Admin API

Any interaction with the UserVoice Admin API requires a trusted API client. You can create one by following guide.

Permissions Endpoint

Create the endpoint: POST /api/v2/admin/permissions

To add permissions to users, this requires two parameters to pass: email and license_type 

The following strings are valid for license_type: "fullaccess_admin","admin","contributor", or"feedback_admin"

JSON example: 

Updating Existing Permissions

First, you will need to find the permission record ID. To do this, use the List Permissions endpoint to find the record by the User ID.

Request: GET /api/v2/admin/permissions?user={id}

The permission record ID will appear in the response in the id attribute.

"permissions": [
  {
    "id": 123456,
    "license_type": "admin",
    "feedback": "manage",
    "features": "manage",
    "settings": "manage_account",
     "links": {
       "user": 123456789
     }
  }
]

You can now use this ID with the Update Permissions endpoint.

Request: PUT /api/v2/admin/permissions/123456 { "license_type": "contributor" }
