Rename a department

API Method: PUT /api/teams/departments

**Description:**This endpoint allows an authorized user (typically an Owner or a Partner) to rename an existing department and optionally update its description. Departments are organizational entities used to group sub-users within a company, and this API supports maintaining and customizing the structure as teams evolve.

Departments are created by Owners or Partners users on behalf of Authors. These entities are used exclusively for managing sub-user roles and permissions, helping to define internal access boundaries. Department names may vary depending on the company, and can reflect functional units or behavior-based groupings (e.g., where problematic users are segregated).

Purpose:

• Rename a department
• Update its description (optional)

⚠️

Departments are only used for sub-user management and are not exposed to end customers.
