# Update a sub-entity

`PATCH /v1/sub-entities/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.revdesk.com`
- URL: `https://api.revdesk.com/v1/sub-entities/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Rename or flip the `hipaa_enabled` flag. Changing `hipaa_enabled` requires the `compliance:write` scope IN ADDITION to `sub_entities:write`. HIPAA is fail-closed and non-downgradeable: `hipaa_enabled=false` is REJECTED while the umbrella organization is HIPAA-enabled. Enabling HIPAA defaults the sub-entity's call-recording retention to 30 days (adjustable per number afterward).

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required
