API · Manage · Stakeholders
Add a stakeholder role.
Append a role (officer, director, founder, etc.) to an existing stakeholder. Roles are multi-valued and time-bounded. Requires a resolution_id when the role confers statutory authority (officer, director) — the resolution is the source of truth for the appointment.
Returns 202 Accepted. On completion, emits one of: stakeholder.added, stakeholder.role_added, stakeholder.role_ended. Subscribe via `POST /v1/webhook_endpoints` to consume.
