Restore a deactivated member's access exactly as it was

POST /api/auth/members/{organizationId}/{userId}/reactivate

Restore a deactivated member's access exactly as it was: their membership role and the roles assigned them, kept while they were away, are what their next token carries.

403 AdminRequired for anyone but an owner or admin, MembershipDeactivated for a caller whose own access has ended, OwnerRequired for an admin reactivating an owner; 404 NotAMember. Appends auth.member-reactivated. Idempotent by state: reactivating a member who is active is acknowledged and appends nothing.

Access

Requires a signed-in session: An active owner or admin of the organization, checked against its membership by the route (the person's BetterAuth session)

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

Idempotent by state: reactivating a member who is active is acknowledged and appends nothing.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

auth.member-reactivated

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. Restoring a member's access is an owner's or admin's decision in Settings › Users, never an agent's; it answers a person's BetterAuth session only.

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`AdminRequired`	Only an owner or admin of the organization may do this.	Ask an owner or admin.
`MembershipDeactivated`	Your own access to this organization has ended.	Ask an owner or admin to reactivate you.
`OwnerRequired`	Only an owner may do this to an owner.	Ask an owner.
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`404`
