You can assign up to 100 security findings per request. Set `assignee_id` to the unique identifier of the Datadog user you want to assign the findings to. Omit `assignee_id` (or set it to `null`) to unassign the findings. Per-finding warnings and failures are returned in the response `meta` object. This endpoint requires any of the following permissions: `security_monitoring_findings_write``appsec_vm_write` ### Request #### Body Data (required) {% tab title="Model" %} | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | ------------- | ------------------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data [*required*] | object | Data of the assignee request. | | data | attributes | object | Attributes of the assignee request. | | attributes | assignee_id | string | Unique identifier of the Datadog user to assign the security findings to.
