# DelegationUpdate

The request body for updating a delegation on an ad account.

```
object DelegationUpdate
```

## Discussion

You only ever send `DelegationUpdate` entries as part of the `delegations` array on [`Update Ad Accounts`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/PUT-ad-accounts-_id_), which uses full-replacement semantics: the array you send becomes the account’s complete set of delegations. There is no separate add or remove operation. The system keeps entries you include and removes entries you omit.

**Adding a new delegation**: include every existing delegation plus the new entry. All delegations on an ad account must share the same `resourceType`. You can’t mix `CONTENT_PROVIDER` and `BUSINESS_BRAND` delegations on the same account. For example, an ad account with an existing `CONTENT_PROVIDER` delegation that wants to add a second `CONTENT_PROVIDER` delegation sends both entries:

```json
PUT /v1/ad-accounts/{id}

{
  "delegations": [
    {
      "resourceId": "12345678",
      "resourceType": "CONTENT_PROVIDER"
    },
    {
      "resourceId": "9876543",
      "resourceType": "CONTENT_PROVIDER"
    }
  ]
}
```

**Removing a delegation**: send the array with the unwanted entry omitted. To remove the second `CONTENT_PROVIDER` delegation added above and keep only the first, send:

```json
PUT /v1/ad-accounts/{id}

{
  "delegations": [
    {
      "resourceId": "12345678",
      "resourceType": "CONTENT_PROVIDER"
    }
  ]
}
```

To remove all delegations, send an empty array.

### Example

```json
{
  "delegations": []
}
```
