Add Users To A Project

Adds the specified list of users as members of the project. Note that a user being added as a member may also be added as a follower as a result of this operation. This is because the user's default notification settings (i.e., in the "Notifcations" tab of "My Profile Settings") will override this endpoint's default behavior of setting "Tasks added" notifications to false. Returns the updated project record.

Input

type: object properties: parameters: type: object properties: project_gid: type: string description: Globally unique identifier for the project. opt_pretty: type: boolean description: >- Provides “pretty” output. Provides the response in a “pretty” format. In the case of JSON this means doing proper line breaking and indentation to make it readable. This will take extra time and increase the response size so it is advisable only to use this during debugging. opt_fields: type: array items: type: string description: >- Defines fields to return. Some requests return *compact* representations of objects in order to conserve resources and complete the request more efficiently. Other times requests return more information than you may need. This option allows you to list the exact set of fields that the API should be sure to return for the objects. The field names should be provided as paths, described below. The id of included objects will always be returned, regardless of the field options. required: - project_gid title: Parameters data: type: object properties: data: type: object properties: members: description: >- An array of strings identifying users. These can either be the string "me", an email, or the gid of a user. type: string example: 521621,621373 title: Data
