Request body

role_idstring

ID of the role to assign. Provide exactly one of role_id or role_identifier; owner_type must be omitted when role_id is used.

role_identifierstring

Role identifier: a lowercase slug (letters and digits separated by single hyphens or underscores), unique per owner type within a zone. Role identifiers surface in policy evaluation, so the slug restriction keeps them unambiguous in policy text.

owner_type'platform' | 'customer'

Owner type of the role to assign. Required with role_identifier (an identifier is unique only per owner type); must be omitted with role_id.

scope_typestring

The kind of resource to scope the grant to (e.g. zone). Provide together with scope_id, or omit both for an unscoped assignment (applies to the owning zone itself). Only platform roles on the org zone may carry a scope.

scope_idstring

The ID of the resource to scope the grant to. Provide together with scope_type, or omit both for an unscoped assignment. When scope_type is zone, this must reference a different zone in the same organization.
