Configure a list of members that will be automatically added to any new team/workspace you create. This endpoint replaces any existing default member configuration.

​
How It Works

When you set default members:
  • Replaces any existing default member configuration
  • Validates each member against your workspace plan limits
  • Deduplicates members by email (keeps first occurrence)
  • Applies to all future teams created by the owner
This operation replaces the entire default members list. To add or remove individual members, retrieve the current list, modify it, and send the updated version.

​
Request Body

Send an array of member objects, each containing:
  • email (string, required): Member’s email address
  • role (string, required): One of ADMIN, MEMBER, VIEWER, or GUEST
The OWNER role cannot be assigned as a default member. Owner is always assigned automatically during team creation.

​
Examples

​
Set Multiple Default Members

curl -X POST "https://api.projectdiscovery.io/v1/user/team/default-members" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Team-Id: YOUR_TEAM_ID" \
  -d '{
    "members": [
      { "email": "security-lead@example.com", "role": "ADMIN" },
      { "email": "team-member@example.com", "role": "MEMBER" },
      { "email": "auditor@example.com", "role": "VIEWER" }
    ]
  }'
Response: 
{
  "message": "default team members updated successfully (3 members)"
}

​
Clear All Default Members

curl -X POST "https://api.projectdiscovery.io/v1/user/team/default-members" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Team-Id: YOUR_TEAM_ID" \
  -d '{ "members": [] }'
Response: 
{
  "message": "default team members updated successfully (0 members)"
}

Validation Rules

​
Email Validation

  • Must be valid email format
  • Invalid emails return 400 error: "invalid email format: bad-email"

​
Role Validation

  • Must be one of: ADMIN, MEMBER, VIEWER, GUEST
  • Invalid roles return 400 error: "invalid role: INVALID. Valid roles are: ADMIN, MEMBER, VIEWER, GUEST"

​
Plan Limits

  • Default members count is validated against your workspace plan’s MaxTeamMembers limit (minus 1 for owner)
  • Exceeding limit returns 400 error: "default members count (15) exceeds your plan limit of 10 members"

​
Common Errors

StatusScenarioSolution
400Invalid email formatVerify email addresses are properly formatted
400Invalid roleUse only: ADMIN, MEMBER, VIEWER, GUEST
400Exceeds plan limitReduce number of default members or upgrade plan
403Not owner/adminOnly team owners and admins can configure defaults

​
Behavior During Team Creation

When a new team is created:
  1. System checks if the owner has configured default members
  2. Each default member’s email must exist in the system
  3. If any email doesn’t correspond to an existing user, team creation returns 400 error
  4. Default members are directly added to the new team (no invitation flow)
  5. Owner is automatically skipped if present in default members list
Default members streamline team provisioning, especially when creating multiple teams or workspaces with consistent access patterns.
