Administration

accountants.access.update

Extend, shorten or clear an accountant's access end date and, optionally, change their access level to read, comment or prepare (exactly that preset, nothing more), with userId, expiresOn (YYYY-MM-DD or null) and/or preset, expectedRevision and idempotencyKey. Extra permissions never outlast the end date. Administrator access is required. MCP calls also require accounting:admin; the web agent asks for approval before changing outside access. Direct API requests cannot perform these access-granting actions.

  • idempotencyKeystringRequired
