# Add trusted role for a User

`PUT /api/users/{id}/trusted`

This endpoint allows the client to add the trusted role to a user.
          The user associated with the API key must have an 'admin' or 'moderator' role.
          The specified user will be assigned the 'trusted' role. Adding the trusted role to a user
          allows them to upvote and downvote posts and flag content that needs investigating by admins.
          Users are notified of this change in the UI, and by email.
