PATCH /api/v1/firm

Change settings (If-Match).

  • Scope firm:write
  • If-Match
  • operationId adminUpdateFirm

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

If-Match. Send If-Match with the ETag of your latest GET. If someone changed the resource since, you get 412 precondition_failed and nothing changes: GET it again, re-apply your change and retry.

Other fields of the resource are accepted too; unknown fields are reported by a validation problem, never ignored silently.
