# Assign Team Role

`PUT /sales-coach/team/users/{user_id}/role`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/sales-coach/team/users/{user_id}/role`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Grant a Team HQ role. THIS REPLACES THE PERSON'S PERMISSIONS.

`cb_user_roles` has a composite primary key on (user_id, org_id), so the
new row replaces whatever they had - this is a privilege grant, not a
label on a dashboard.

The app's three rules apply unchanged and each is a 403:

  * the caller must be able to manage the team floor;
  * no self-assignment, or a manager could re-role themselves;
  * the caller must already hold every permission of the role they are
    granting, unless they are an org Owner or Admin - Settings'
    non-escalation rule.

Only the five Team HQ slugs are assignable. `admin` is not one of them and
is refused at the request layer.

## Path parameters

- `user_id` string, required: The member to re-role.

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Request body

- AssignTeamRoleRequest: Grant one Team HQ role to an existing member of the caller's org. A role REPLACES the person's whole permission set - `cb_user_roles` has a composite primary key on (user_id, org_id), so there is exactly one row per person per org. This is a privilege grant, not a label.
  - `slug` 'ae' | 'sdr' | 'csm' | 'campaign_manager' | 'sales_manager', required: The role to grant. `admin` is not assignable here - it belongs to Settings -> Roles, behind the full RBAC admin gate.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseTeamPayload
  - `data` TeamPayload, required: An open envelope for a config, a bootstrap or a data response. Open because the leaderboard and set DATA responses carry one key per KPI and the KPI catalogue is org-configurable: a closed model would drop a customer's own metric, and a leaderboard missing a column reads as a rep having scored nothing.
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
