Hi @MJin,

The User Provisioning API has expanded since 2021. Check the current subscription and scope requirements for the specific operation rather than assuming the entire API is Enterprise-only.

More details here - [Create and assign permission sets](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/settings/create-roles)

After this API call, you will get the roleId as mentioned in the doc. HubSpot now offers additional user and permissions APIs, but these don’t necessarily provide a complete role definition from a `roleId`.

This is how I made this work for 1 of our customers -

We have a local database of role details and roleId, and I’m using that as a reference to match the roleId.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
