Update a shift

Move the times, swap who is on it, or change the role. A shift stays at its location — to move somebody to a different one, create the shift there and delete this.

Required scope

The access token must carry this scope. A token missing it gets 403 Forbidden. Grant them to an API client under Settings → Company → API, and to a teammate under Employee → Permissions.
