# Group Memberships Users and groups can become members of a project. Such a membership will also have one or more roles assigned to it. By that, memberships control the permissions a user has within a project. ## Linked Properties | Link | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations | |:-------------------:|----------------------------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | | self | This membership | Membership | not null | READ | | project | The project for which the membership is granted | Project | not null | READ | | roles | The list of roles the user or group is granted in the project | RoleCollection | not null | READ | | principal | The user or group that was granted membership | User or Group | not null | READ | ## Local Properties | Property | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations | | :---------: | --------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ----------- | -------------------- | | id | Membership id | Integer | x > 0 | READ | | createdAt | Time of creation | DateTime | not null | READ | ## Membership [/api/v3/memberships/{id}] + Model + Body { "_links": "self": { "href": "/api/v3/memberships/11", "title": "Some user" }, "schema": { "href": "/api/v3/memberships/schema" }, "update": { "href": "/api/v3/memberships/11/form", "method": "post" }, "updateImmediately": { "href": "/api/v3/memberships/11", "method": "patch" }, "project": { "href": "/api/v3/projects/3", "title": "A project" }, "principal": { "href": "/api/v3/users/4", "title": "Some user" }, "roles": [ { "href": "/api/v3/roles/5", "title": "Member" }, { "href": "/api/v3/roles/4", "title": "Reader" } ] }, "_type": "Membership", "id": 11, "createdAt": "2015-03-20T12:56:56Z", "_embedded": { "project": "<-- omitted for brevity -->", "principal": "<-- omitted for brevity -->", "roles": [ "<-- omitted for brevity -->" ] } } ## View membership [GET] + Parameters + id (required, integer, `1`) ... membership id + Response 200 (application/hal+json) [Membership][] + Response 404 (application/hal+json) Returned if the membership does not exist or the client does not have sufficient permissions to see it. **Required permission:** view members **or** manage members *Note: A client without sufficient permissions shall not be able to test for the existence of a membership.

The client can choose to filter the memberships similar to how work packages are filtered. In addition to the provided filters, the server will reduce the result set to only contain memberships, for which the requesting client has sufficient permissions (*view_members*, *manage_members*). + Parameters + filters (optional, string, `[{ "name": { "operator": "=", "values": ["A User"] }" }]`) ... JSON specifying filter conditions. Accepts the same format as returned by the [queries](#queries) endpoint. Currently supported filters are: + any_name_attribute: filters memberships based on the name of the principal. All possible name variants (and also email and login) are searched. + blocked: reduces the result set to all memberships that are temporarily blocked or that are not blocked temporarily. + group: filters memberships based on the name of a group. The group however is not the principal used for filtering. Rather, the memberships of the group are used as the filter values. + name: filters memberships based on the name of the principal. Note that only the name is used which depends on a setting in the OpenProject instance. + principal: filters memberships based on the id of the principal. + project: filters memberships based on the id of the project. + role: filters memberships based on the id of any role assigned to the membership. + status: filters memberships based on the status of the principal. + Response 200 (application/hal+json) [Memberships][] ## Create membership [POST] Creates a new membership applying the attributes provided in the body.
