name	string required	The name of the collaborator.
email	string required	The email of the collaborator.
env_roles	object required	Defines the collaborator's environment roles.
env_roles[environment_type]	string required	The type of environment in the workspace where you plan to invite the collaborator. Use `dev` for single-environment workspaces.
env_roles[name]	string required	The role to assign the collaborator for the specific environment.
env_roles[role_type]	string optional	The type of role to assign the collaborator. Accepted values include `privilege_group` and `environment`. The default value is `privilege_group`.
role_name	string deprecated	This field is deprecated. Use `env_roles` instead, even for single-environment workspaces.

# Sample requests

# Request 1: Invite a collaborator using `env_roles`

This example request creates an invitation for the dev, test, and prod environments. It assigns the collaborator an Admin role in the dev environment, an Analyst role in the test environment, and an Operator role in the prod environment.

curl -X POST 'https://www.workato.com/api/member_invitations' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api_token>' \

This example creates an invitation solely for the prod environment. By omitting additional environments and roles from the env_roles object, the default behavior assigns the collaborator a No access role in all other environments.

curl -X POST 'https://www.workato.com/api/member_invitations' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api_token>' \

Get details about a collaborator you specify. This resource returns the following information in the response:

User ID
Grant type: Where team indicates the user is a workspace collaborator and federation_manager indicates the user is a workspace moderator.
User groups
Role
External ID
