Add a User to a Project Team

To add a user to a project team:

1. Get the ID of the project whose team you want to update. For instructions, see Get a Project ID. This example uses the project ID 0-0.

2. Get the entity ID of the target YouTrack user.

   To do so, send GET request to the /api/users endpoint, and in the fields request parameter, list id, login, and name to identify the user. If you know the login or name of the target user, you can specify it in the query parameter to narrow down the results returned from the server.

   For example:

   curl -L -X GET 'https://example.youtrack.cloud/api/users?fields=id,name,login&query=Mad%20Max' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YouTrack_token>'

   In response, server returned the following data:

   [ { "login": "Mad_Max", "name": "Mad Max", "id": "1-7", "$type": "User" } ]

   Now that we have entity IDs for both target project and user, we can move to the last step.

3. Add the user to the project's team.

   To do so, you need to send a POST request to the following YouTrack REST API endpoint:

   <YouTrack_REST_API_URL>/admin/projects/{projectID}/team/ownUsers

   In the payload of the request, specify the user's entity id.

   For example:

   curl -L -X POST 'https://example.youtrack.cloud/api/admin/projects/0-0/team/ownUsers?fields=id,login,name' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YouTrack_token>' \ --data-raw '{"id":"1-7"}'

   In this sample request, we also specify the fields parameter to confirm the details of the user that was added to the team.

   In response, server returned the following data:

   { "login": "Mad_Max", "name": "Mad Max", "id": "1-7", "$type": "User" }
