createRole

Requires permission settings:role:create.

Creates a role in your organization. Refused if the name belongs to a soft-deleted role; the error then carries the details so a client can offer to restore that role instead. Needs settings:role:create.

Errors: a failed call returns a GraphQL errors entry, not a field on the result, and data may be null or partial. Read the entry's extensions.code and message; every shape and code is in the Error reference.

Example:

GraphQL

mutation CreateRole($input: CreateRoleInput!) {
  createRole(input: $input) {
    id
    name
    displayName
    createdAt
    deletedAt
    deletedBy
    permissions {
      id
      name
      createdAt
      action
      description
      direct
    }
  }
}

cURL

curl -X POST "https://<api-host>/graphql" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
