replaceMembership


Method description



replaceMembership is a method to update, replace or create a new membership. If the syncID for the membership exists in itslearning, the membership will be updated. If not, a new membership will be created.

replaceMembership is functionally equivalent to updateMembership

replaceMembership and updateMembership can only be used to update the roleType or home organisation of existing member. To add, remove or change person to group assignment, use createMembership/deleteMembership instead.
