Response

{
  "status": "success",

Errors

400 — if role is not one of the four values.
403 — if the member holds an agency-level role (manage it from the agency workspace).

404 — if the user is not an active member of this sub-account.

Notes

If the member already has the role, returns changed: false without previous_role.
