Manage Managers

Managing managers allows the project owner to add or remove manager access for a project. Managers are responsible for creating tasks, assessing contributor work, and overseeing day-to-day project operations. The full manager list is synced from chain to the database on confirmation, replacing the entire list.

Summary

Property	Value
System	Project
Role	Owner
Type Key	`managers_manage`
Build Endpoint	`POST /api/v2/tx/project/owner/managers/manage`
DB Sync	Yes
Service Fee	10 ADA
Est. Wallet Cost	~10.3 ADA

The estimated wallet cost breaks down as: transaction fee ~0.30 ADA + service fee 10 ADA. DB sync performs a full replacement of the manager list from chain state, not an incremental update.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`alias`	`string` (Alias)	Yes	The owner's access token alias. Only the project owner can manage managers.
`project_id`	`string` (GYMintingPolicyId)	Yes	56-character hex policy ID returned from project creation.
`managers_to_add`	`string[]` (Alias[])	Yes	Aliases of users to grant manager access. Each must have a minted access token. Pass `[]` if only removing.
`managers_to_remove`	`string[]` (Alias[])	Yes	Aliases of managers to revoke access from. Pass `[]` if only adding.
`initiator_data`	`WalletData`	No	Object containing `usedAddresses` (string[]) and `changeAddress` (string). Note: this field is `initiator_data`, not `walletData`. If omitted, the Gateway resolves wallet data from the authenticated session.

Response

{
  "unsigned_tx": "84a800..."
}

The response contains the unsigned transaction CBOR, ready for the user's wallet to sign.

Register Transaction

After the user signs and submits the transaction, register it with the state machine:

POST /api/v2/tx/register

{
  "tx_hash": "64-char hex hash from wallet.submitTx()",
  "tx_type": "managers_manage"
}

No metadata is required. On confirmation, the state machine reads the full manager list from chain state and replaces the database record entirely.

Endpoint	Description
`GET /api/v2/projects/{project_id}`	Fetch project details including the current manager list

const API_URL = "https://api.andamio.io";

// 1. Build
const buildRes = await fetch(`${API_URL}/api/v2/tx/project/owner/managers/manage`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-API-Key": API_KEY,

  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    alias: "projectowner",
    project_id: projectId,
    managers_to_add: ["newmanager1", "newmanager2"],
    managers_to_remove: [],
    initiator_data: {
      usedAddresses: [walletAddress],
      changeAddress: walletAddress,
    },
  }),
});
const { unsigned_tx } = await buildRes.json();

// 2. Sign
const signedTx = await wallet.signTx(unsigned_tx);

// 3. Submit
const txHash = await wallet.submitTx(signedTx);

// 4. Register
await fetch(`${API_URL}/api/v2/tx/register`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-API-Key": API_KEY,
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${userJwt}`,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    tx_hash: txHash,
    tx_type: "managers_manage",
  }),
});

// 5. Monitor (SSE)
const events = new EventSource(
  `${API_URL}/api/v2/tx/stream/${txHash}`
);
events.addEventListener("state_change", (e) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(e.data);
  console.log(`State: ${data.old_state} → ${data.new_state}`);
});
events.addEventListener("complete", (e) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(e.data);
  console.log(`Final: ${data.final_state}`);
  events.close();
});
