New: Entitled API access to Lobby user profiles
Organizations enabled for Lobby user API access can now retrieve users awaiting approval through GET /v1/users?membership_status=LOBBY and GET /v1/users/{id}?membership_status=LOBBY. Without the parameter, both endpoints continue to return only ACCEPTED memberships. An organization-level use-api-lobby-users entitlement is required; it is not enabled for all customers and does not add a new API-key scope. The feature is deployed in production and has been enabled and tested for Uplift Education.Responses remain scoped to the API key organization, including custom profile fields and participations on detail responses. A Lobby request without the entitlement returns 403; an invalid status returns 422, and a detail request for a user outside the organization or not in the selected status returns 404. See Users & Volunteers for examples and enablement guidance.Improved: API Reference Responses & Examples
