# Change a membership's role or active flag (admin)

`PATCH /v1/members/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sixminute.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.sixminute.ai/v1/members/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The last active admin cannot be demoted or deactivated: 409 `urn:six-minute:problem:last-admin`. Deactivating a member of a firm whose practice system each person signs in to deletes that member's own session there and their binding; nothing is sent to the practice system. Deactivating a member also deletes their calendar account with its stored events and marks, and asks the provider to revoke where it allows. This is also how a former member comes back. The interval is the firm's (`PATCH /v1/tenant/settings`).

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `role` 'timekeeper' | 'billing' | 'admin'
  - `active` boolean

## Other responses

- `400`: The body, query or path did not validate; `errors` lists the fields.
- `401`: No bearer token, or one that does not verify or has expired.
- `403`: The token verified but may not do this: no organisation, not provisioned, wrong role, or a device problem.
- `404`: No such row for this tenant.
- `409`: The id or the email already belongs to something else.
