# Change member role (admin)

`PATCH /api/v1/tenants/me/members/{user_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.hub-equity.com`
- URL: `https://api.hub-equity.com/api/v1/tenants/me/members/{user_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Promotes or demotes a tenant member between `admin` and `member`. Tenant-admin only. The last remaining admin cannot be demoted (`400`) — promote another member first.

## Path parameters

- `user_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- UpdateMemberRequest
  - `role` 'admin' | 'member', required

## Response `200`

Role updated

- ApiResponseMemberResponse
  - `success` boolean, required
  - `data` MemberResponse
    - `user_id` string, uuid, required
    - `email` string, nullable: Member's email. Null when it cannot be resolved.
    - `full_name` string, nullable: Display name given at signup. Suggested display order: full_name, then email, then user_id.
    - `role` 'admin' | 'member', required
    - `joined_at` string, date-time, required: When the member joined the workspace.
  - `error` ApiError: API error details.
    - `code` string, required
    - `message` string, required
    - `details` object, nullable
  - `meta` ApiMeta: API response metadata. Pagination fields (``page`` / ``per_page`` / ``total``) are populated on collection endpoints only. They are omitted from the payload on single-resource endpoints.
    - `timestamp` string, date-time
    - `request_id` string, nullable
    - `page` integer, nullable
    - `per_page` integer, nullable
    - `total` integer, nullable
  - `links` ApiLinks: HATEOAS-style pagination cursors. Host-relative path + query links for a collection page. Present on collection endpoints, ``null`` fields where a page doesn't exist (``next`` on the last page, ``prev`` on the first). The whole ``links`` object is omitted from single-resource responses (see ``ApiResponse`` serializer).
    - `self` string, nullable
    - `first` string, nullable
    - `prev` string, nullable
    - `next` string, nullable
    - `last` string, nullable
