# Flip Inherit Flag

> Owner-only flip of the reach/inherit flag

Flips the workspace's `inheritsFromParent` flag — the switch controlling whether authority from above reaches into this node. See [Reach & the wall/door rule](/data-models/workspace#reach-and-the-wall-door-rule).

* **Owner-only in both directions** (the workspace's own owner or an ancestor owner). **Not a capability.**
* Subject to the **enforced-default lock**: if the project sets [`workspaces.inheritEnforced`](/sdk/workspaces/overview#project-settings), the flip is rejected with `403 workspace/inherit-enforced`.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  The workspace UUID.
</ParamField>

## Body Parameters

<ParamField body="inheritsFromParent" type="boolean" required>
  The new flag value (`true` = open/door, `false` = sealed/wall).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="userId" type="string">
  Service/master keys only — the user to act as (must be own owner or an ancestor owner).
</ParamField>

## Response

Returns the updated [Workspace](/data-models/workspace) object.
