Roles

Assign role to user

POST/zones/{zoneId}/users/{userId}/roles

Assigns a role to the user. Provide exactly one of role_id or role_identifier; when role_identifier is used, owner_type is required to disambiguate roles that share an identifier across owner types (and must be omitted with role_id). An optional (scope_type, scope_id) pair scopes the grant; only platform roles on the org zone may carry a scope, and a zone scope must reference a different zone in the same organization.
