[Tilt 15]

Is there a replacement for project.createManager() in the new API?

I'm afraid that we do not yet support managers in the new ftrack-python-api. I will raise this with the team and see what the status is

I would like to add managers via the new api

Nothing new I'm afraid, I will re-raise the question with the team.

Hi Peter, we have not yet implemented support for manager in the API and it is currently not on the roadmap.

Hey, 

I was trying to find a similar solution and I came up with a workaround. I am listing users that create calendar events in the overview for the project that in my case are the managers. Try this:

def get_managers(session, project_name):
	events = session.query('Project where full_name is "{}"'.format(project_name)).one()['calendar_events']
	managers_list = sorted(set([x['created_by']['username'] for x in events]))
	return managers_list

We also need to be able to manage managers for a project via the API. (Or have some other way to add folks to a project so that they get notifications without being assigned a task). This is critical for us as a larger studio.
