# UpdateContributorIdentityMapping updates a mapping; canonical_email is recomputed server-side when spec changes.

`PATCH /v1/namespaces/{object.tenant_meta.namespace}/contributor-identity-mappings`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.endorlabs.com`
- URL: `https://api.endorlabs.com/v1/namespaces/{object.tenant_meta.namespace}/contributor-identity-mappings`
- Auth: none declared

## Path parameters

- `object.tenant_meta.namespace` string, required

## Request body

- ContributorIdentityMappingServiceUpdateContributorIdentityMappingBody: Request to update a contributor identity mapping record.
  - `object` object: ContributorIdentityMapping links a SCM login to one or more normalized commit emails for a tenant. Data is populated from SCM APIs (e.g. App based scans or PAT-backed reports) and used to deduplicate contributors across emails. Deterministic canonical_email (persisted in spec.canonical_email, applied on create/update only): 1. Normalize every associated email: trim ASCII whitespace and lowercase (same rules as contributor aggregation). 2. Deduplicate, then sort lexicographically before persisting associated_emails. 3. If any email is a GitHub noreply address for this login (see github.com docs: USERNAME@users.noreply.github.com or ID+USERNAME@users.noreply.github.com), pick the lexicographically smallest matching noreply address. 4. Otherwise use the lexicographically smallest normalized email. Aggregation and other readers must use spec.canonical_email as stored; they must not re-derive a different "first" email from scan order.
    - `meta` V1Meta: Common fields for all Endor Labs resources.
      - `annotations` object: Annotations can be used to attach metadata to a resource message. Annotation values can be small or large, structured or unstructured, and may include characters not permitted by labels. The keys may contain alphanumerics, underscores (_), dots (.) and dashes (-). The values of an annotation must be 16384 bytes or smaller.
      - `create_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was created. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
      - `created_by` string: Name and authentication source of the user who created the object, for example, ewok@endor.ai@google@api-key.
      - `description` string: Resource description. Must be less than 1024 bytes.
      - `index_data` V1IndexData: IndexData is used to index the resource for search. It's an internal object.
        - `data` string[]
        - `search_score` number, float: search_score is the score of the resource for search. Internal use only.
        - `tenant` string
        - `will_be_deleted_at` string, date-time: Time that the resource will be deleted.
      - `kind` string: Resource kind, for example, HelloResponse. Auto-generated using the protobuf message proto.MessageName().Name().
      - `name` string, required: Resource name. Must be 63 characters or less.
      - `parent_kind` string: Parent object resource kind, for example, Project.
      - `parent_uuid` string: Parent object UUID.
      - `references` object: Map of objects referenced in a query API.
      - `tags` string[]: List of tags attached to the resource. Tags can be used to select objects and to find collections of objects that satisfy certain conditions. A tag must be 255 characters or less.
      - `update_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was last updated. Note: Updated on all create/patch/delete operations. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
      - `updated_by` string: Name and authentication source of the last user who updated the object, for example, vulnerabilityingestor@endor.ai@x509.
      - `upsert_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was last upserted. Note: create_time is only set the first time the resource is created. upsert_time is set every time the resource is upseted. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
      - `version` string: Message version.
    - `spec` V1ContributorIdentityMappingSpec
      - `associated_emails` string[], required: Normalized emails associated with this GitHub user (trimmed, lowercased, sorted lexicographically on write).
      - `canonical_email` string: Persisted canonical email for stable counting and display (recomputed on create/update by the API server).
      - `login` string, required: SCM login for this identity (natural upsert key with tenant namespace).
    - `tenant_meta` object: Mappings are stored per tenant namespace.
    - `uuid` string: The UUID of the contributor identity mapping record.
  - `request` V1UpdateRequest: Message used for all update requests.
    - `force` boolean: Force will force the update of the resource if any checks fail.
    - `update_mask` string: Fields to update. Defaults to all fields.
