# Assign an SMS conversation

> Sets an organization team member or clears assignment when assigned_user_id is omitted/null/zero. With Team and access enforcement enabled, the assignee must be active and have sms_inbox_reply or sms_inbox_manage. Does not change the line owner or its visibility. Conversations and available lines respect line visibility: restricted lines require assignment to the viewer or sms_inbox_manage/group_all. Requires permission: one of sms_inbox_manage; plus one of beta_features.

        Returned with HTTP 422 when `Validator::make($data, $rules)` fails. The
        `errors` map is keyed by the failing field name; each value is an array
        of human-readable error messages for that field. Most controllers also
        include a top-level `status: error`.

            Map of field name to array of validator error messages. Example:

    ErrorResponse:
      title: ErrorResponse
      description: >-
        Generic error envelope used by most controllers. Most error responses
        pair a human-readable `message` with `status: error`. Some endpoints
        additionally include `errors` (validator errors), `error` (legacy
        single-error string), `code`, or domain-specific context fields.
      required:
        - message
      properties:
        message:
          description: Human-readable error message.
          type: string

        status:
          description: >-
            Always the literal string `error` for failures. Some endpoints omit
            this field.
