#### Query Parameters

<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th width="100">Type</th><th width="100">Required</th><th>Comments</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ticketId</td><td>integer</td><td>yes</td><td>Id of ticket you want to update.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Request Body

The request body must contain the model with the Id of the teammate (as `assigneeId`) and the current user assigned to the ticket (as `previousAssigneeId`). Send `assigneeId` as null if you want to set the ticket as unassigned.

You can obtain the list of teammates by requesting the corresponding [teammates endpoint](https://developers.socialboards.com/docs/apis/tickets/reference/endpoints/get-all-teammates).

You can retrieve the current assigned user value from the response from [get ticket by id endpoint](https://developers.socialboards.com/docs/apis/tickets/reference/endpoints/get-ticket-by-id) (property `lockedBy` in the response object).

```json
{
    "assigneeId": "31aee6af-3e38-40d9-98b1-aa2b9238f24d",
    "previousAssigneeId": "null"
}
```

You cannot assign a user, which is not a part of the team (such as a client, vendor, or read-only user).&#x20;
