### Overview

Detach security findings from their case. This operation dissociates security findings from their associated cases without deleting the cases themselves. You can detach security findings from multiple different cases in a single request, with a limit of 50 security findings per request. Security findings that are not currently attached to any case will be ignored. This endpoint requires any of the following permissions:
`security_monitoring_findings_write``appsec_vm_write`
