Bulk-create role assignments. All-or-nothing: any failure rolls back the entire batch

POST/portal/v1/accounts/{accountSlug}/applications/{appSlug}/environments/{envSlug}/assignments/bulk-create

Creates many role assignments in one request using partial-success semantics: each item is validated, authorized at its node, and saved independently. Successes and failures are returned together in a { summary, results } envelope — 200 when every item succeeds, 207 Multi-Status when some fail. Per-item duplicates (including repeats within the same batch), unauthorized nodes, and inactive/system roles fold into the failures array rather than aborting the request. Emits a single assignment.bulk_created audit summary.

Authentication

Bearer TokenAuthorization

JWT access token. Never send alongside X-API-Key: a request carrying both is refused.

Requires capability env_identities.manageDeveloper Console

Create, invite, edit, and remove identities and assign their roles. Granted through an administrator role in the Admin Workspace; a valid token without it is refused with 403.

Production Environments require production_identities.accessDeveloper Console

Access identities in production Environments. Applies to users only, and only in an Environment marked production: its identities are real end users. API keys and identity principals are exempt.

Path Parameters

accountSlugstring Required

The Account's slug. An unknown one answers 404.

appSlugstring Required

The Application's slug within the Account.

envSlugstring Required

The Environment's slug within the Application.

Errors

When the request can't be completed, the response body includes a stable error code you can branch on, and a correlation_id (also sent as the X-Correlation-Id header). Quote the correlation id when you contact support: it identifies the exact request in Canopy's logs.

403account.capability_requiredForbidden
When it happens

The signed-in user's administrator roles do not grant the capability this endpoint requires.

Remediation

Ask an account administrator to grant a role carrying the capability named in the Authentication section, then retry.

403environment.production_identities_forbiddenForbidden
When it happens

The Environment is marked production and the caller is a user without production identity access.

Remediation

Manage these people in the Admin Workspace, or ask an administrator to grant the Production Support role, then retry.
