Potential Patch operations

• Add members to the role:

  {"op": "add", "path": "members", "value": [{"value":"a-0001","display":"[email protected]"}]}

• Update the role's name:

  {"op": "replace", "value": {"displayName: "newName"}}

• Replace the members assigned to the role by removing all existing members and setting it to a new set of members:

  {"op": "replace", "path": "members", "value": [{"value":"a-0001","display":"[email protected]"}]}

• Remove role members by ID:

  {"op": "remove", "path": "members[value eq "a-0001"]}

Response Codes

Code	Description
204	The result of all Patch operations does not change the role.
400	The request body does not match one of the example formats (in some cases, additional fields to those detailed may be allowed, but they are ignored). A 400 can also mean a filter other than members[value eq "userID"] was provided to be removed from the role.
