PUT and PATCH
The Seven Bridges Platform API has two method to modify project members' permissions. This method uses the HTTP verb
PUT, and the other uses the HTTP verbPATCH.The difference between the two concerns the way that they update the information stored about the user.
PATCHallows you to update just one part of the user's information --- for instance, just the value stored for the user'scopypermission. On the other hand, aPUTrequest will fully overwrite the user's permission information. This means that when issuing aPUTrequest you must enter values for every key required to describe the user, even if the values for some keys are unchanged.
