PUT `/api/v1/users/{id}/privileges/{privilege}`

Grant, remove or reset one privilege.

Scope admin:users
operationId adminPrivilege

The token needs the scope admin:users, and the person or service account behind it needs the matching privileges and account permissions, exactly as on the screens. See Scopes.

Status codes and errors

Errors are application/problem+json (RFC 9457) with a stable code to program against; the detail says what to fix. See Errors.

Status	When	Problem codes
200	Success
400	The request is malformed	`invalid_request` `invalid_json`
401	No token, or it is invalid or expired	`invalid_token`
403	The token lacks the scope, or the person or service account behind it lacks the privilege or account permission	`insufficient_scope` `forbidden` `ip_not_allowed`
404	Not found, or not visible to you (the API never confirms what you may not see)	`not_found`
409	Not possible in the current state	`invalid_transition` `conflict`
422	Validation failed (the detail says which field), or blocked	`validation_failed`
429	Rate limited: wait for Retry-After seconds	`rate_limited`

{
    "type": "https://vestoris.com/developers/errors#validation_failed",
    "title": "Validation failed",
    "status": 422,
    "detail": "Quantity must be greater than zero.",
    "code": "validation_failed",
