add_participants_to_team.py

import synapseclient
from synapseclient.exceptions import SynapseError


team_id = "3325290"
approved_participant_ids = ["377358", "3321663"]

syn = synapseclient.Synapse()

## log in using cached API key.
syn.login()

for principal_id in approved_participant_ids:
    try:
        syn.restPUT("/team/%s/member/%s" % (team_id, principal_id))
    except SynapseError as ex1:
        print ex1

# Adding to a team is a two step process. Either the user has to be invited, then accept or they have to
# request membership then be approved. Either way, membership requires action from both a "team manager"
# and the individual member.
# Synapse's way of saying:
#  1) there's no join request or
#  2) the user is already a member of the team or
#  3) the calling user is not a team manager
#  ...is this:
# 403 Client Error: Forbidden  Cannot add member to Team.
