| `role_id` | path | string | yes |  |
| `user_id` | path | string | yes |  |
| `require_approval` | query | boolean | no | Optional. Set true to route this write into the approval queue for human review instead of executing it immediately (returns 202 + an approval_id). Works even when your key/token has permission to execute directly. |
