Seats and labor cost on user invites

Updated: POST /users takes a seat and a labor cost

Invite User now matches Invite Members in Coperniq. Along with name, email, role and phone, you can set the member’s seat and labor cost.

{
  "email": "anna.smith@example.com",
  "firstName": "Anna",
  "lastName": "Smith",
  "seatType": "FIELD",
  "roleIds": [3],
  "phone": "(208) 555-0112",
  "laborHourlyRate": 40
}
  • seatType is FIELD (Field), OFFICE (Office) or READONLY (Viewer).
  • Field and Office seats must be on your plan, with one free. The API doesn’t buy seats. If none are free, the request returns 400, for example No available Field seats. Buy more seats in Coperniq, then try again.
  • laborHourlyRate is optional, in dollars per hour.
  • roleIds is required unless seatType is READONLY. A Viewer seat only takes roles whose roleType is VIEW_AND_COMMENT. Leave roleIds out to use the default Viewer role.
  • Behavior change: seatType is now required. Requests without it return 400.
  • Behavior change: an invite that Coperniq couldn’t complete now returns 400 with the reason. It used to return 201 with "status": "failed".
  • Inviting someone who is already an active member still returns 201 with "status": "exists", and nothing changes.

Updated: GET /users returns seatType and laborHourlyRate

Each user now includes seatType and laborHourlyRate. Each is null when not set.

Updated: GET /roles returns roleType

Each role includes roleType, either REGULAR or VIEW_AND_COMMENT, so you can pick roles for Viewer seats.
