Conditions and requirements

General

  • If Autotask receives a create, update, or delete request for this entity and its corresponding module is unavailable, the API will return the error message, "The logged in Resource does not have the adequate permissions to update this entity type." For more information about installed modules, refer to our Modules article.
  • Phases associated with projects of Type = Baseline are read-only and cannot be created, updated or deleted via the API.
  • On update, projectID cannot be changed. An error will be returned.
  • To maintain consistency with the Autotask UI, Phase.endDateTime ignores any time component passed in. A time value of midnight will be applied to any Phase end date provided. End date can be the same day as Start date.
