API endpoints to update attributes of a group invited to a group or project

Problem to solve

Currently our projects API allows users to Share projects with group and Delete a shared project link within a group. However the Projects API does not have the ability to update attributes such as expires_at or group_access in regards to a group which has already been invited to a project. The same is the case for the Groups API with regard to groups that have been invited to groups.

Proposal

Groups API

• Add a new API endpoint: Update a link to share a group with another group that contains the attributes id, group id, group_access, expires_at
  • Changing the role should assign a new role to the group (within the possible restrictions that may apply)
  • Changing the expiration date should overwrite the previously set expiration date
• Ensure the new endpoints are rate limited by default
• Update the documentation

Projects API

• Add a new API endpoint: Update a shared project link within a group that contains the attributes id, group id, group_access, expires_at
  • Changing the role should assign a new role to the group (within the possible restrictions that may apply)
  • Changing the expiration date should overwrite the previously set expiration date
• Ensure the new endpoints are rate limited by default
• Update the documentation

Workaround

The current workaround would be to use the projects API to Delete a shared project link within a group and then re-share the project with the group while applying the updated group_access level attribute.
