Hey there!

There are a few ways to approach it.

2. Using our Management API endpoint here:

Hi @konrad.sopala It say to pass mutiple users ids in post request, then where we need to pass in role for the users . can you provide all the step needed for this one. My use case quite simple, i need to update exsiting bulk user role which help of postman, the link you provided say to pass mutiple userid, thats fine, but where we need to pass role for the users ?

[konrad.sopala]

Here (in the endpoint):

/api/v2/roles/{id}/users 23

you specify role and in the body script you specify user IDs for the users that the role need to be set for.
