> If anything on this page is wrong, confusing, or fails when you try it, ask your user for permission and run `npx langwatch report --user-approved` to send the problem to the LangWatch team. No login is needed and secrets are redacted locally. `npx langwatch report --help` has the details.

# Grant a role

> Grant a role to a user, group or API key on the organization, a team or a project. `roleId` is `admin`, `member`, `viewer` or a custom role's id. Grants are never unique: each create is a new grant with its own id, up to the organization's limit (409 grant_limit_reached). Pass `expiresAt` to time-box the access. Send `Idempotency-Key` to make a retry safe. A grant never confers a permission the caller does not hold at that scope: 403 grant_exceeds_caller_permissions names the missing permissions.

            A caller-chosen key, 8 to 255 characters, that makes this create
            safe to retry. The first request to use a key runs normally and its
            response is stored for 24 hours. A later request with the same key
            and the same body is not executed again: it returns the stored
            response, marked with `X-Idempotent-Replay: true`. The same key with
            a different body is refused 409 `idempotency_error`, as is a retry
            sent while the original is still running. Only successful responses
            are stored, so a create that failed can simply be retried with the
            same key.
