Bulk Activate Users

POST /clients/{client_id}/users/activate

Reactivate one or more archived users. Historical data is seamlessly rejoined. This operation is idempotent -- activating an already-active user is treated as a success.

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
client_id	string (uuid)	Unique identifier for the client organization

Request Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
user_ids	string (uuid)[]	Yes	List of user IDs to activate

Example Request Body

{
  "user_ids": [
    "a1d97031-04e2-4907-a249-093f7436207b",
    "b2e08142-15f3-5018-b350-104g8547318c"
  ]
}

Response

Returns a BulkUserControlResult with status 200 OK.

All succeeded

{
  "succeeded": [
    "a1d97031-04e2-4907-a249-093f7436207b",
    "b2e08142-15f3-5018-b350-104g8547318c"
  ],
  "failed": []
}

Partial success -- deleted user cannot be activated

{
  "succeeded": [
    "a1d97031-04e2-4907-a249-093f7436207b"
  ],
  "failed": [
    {
      "id": "b2e08142-15f3-5018-b350-104g8547318c",
      "error": "Cannot reactivate a deleted user"
    }
  ]
}

Business Rules

• Atomic per-user -- one failure does not roll back others.
• Activating an already-active user succeeds (idempotent).
• Deleted users cannot be activated (reported in failed).
• If the client is deleted, the entire operation is rejected (400).
• One audit log entry created per affected user.
• Scales to 10,000 users.
