Notes

  • This endpoint has write access to the session
  • Only entities returned by getMyEntities can be set as active
  • The is_recursive parameter determines whether sub-entities are included in the active scope
  • Setting entities_id to "all" activates all available entities
  • Changing the active entity affects which resources are accessible in subsequent API calls
