What happens if a user already has a role and you use the Add a Role to a User API?

Based on the API documentation, I’m expecting that it’ll just error out and not cause any issues. 

Does anyone know for sure that’s the case? My colleagues asked to ensure that it won’t “double up” on the role or cause any issues with the users’ data.

    @DannyPancratz actually it looks like there is not even an error if you add a role that the user already has. The response is: Status 200 OK and “Done”.

      Personally, that would make sense to me as well. The last thing you want is to cause your scripts to error out because you tried to give me the same role I already had, so it’s easier just to say it’s done and move on.

      Technically speaking, inSided could add a status for “already done” but that starts to complicate things for no real benefit.
