Roles

A Role represents the main position or title assigned to members on an account. Roles may be associated with account memberships, account invitations, participation, project template assignments, rate card roles, rate card versions, resources, or time adjustments.

Fetching a list of Roles

The Roles endpoint provides a list of all active roles that belong to the account of the user making the request.

The response will contain an array of role objects, sorted alphabetically by the name attribute available under the key named roles.

This endpoint returns structured Role objects. As with all Kantata OX API endpoints, the returned data will be referenced in sorted order in the results array and will be indexed by ID in the roles top-level JSON key. Please see our Response Format section for more information.
