Add additional lecturers to classes and sessions

Register **additional lecturers** — a second instructor, assistant, or helper — on one or more classes, and control which of their sessions each one actually works. This is NOT how you set or change a class's main instructor (that is classes_update, or sessions_update for one-off substitutions); additional lecturers are extra people who work *alongside* the main instructor. By default a lecturer you add here works **every** session of the class — that is the normal arrangement. Restrict one to certain days by giving that assignment weekdays (1=Monday … 7=Sunday), or to hand-picked sessions with event_ids. This handles the whole "Martin works Mondays, Peter works Tuesdays, both on Wednesdays" pattern across a programme's classes in one action. Select classes with schedule_ids, or the way operators say it — course_id plus billing_period_id ("the Junior classes in Winter 2026"). Resolve trainer_id first with classes_find_resource kind:"trainer", and the programme and billing period with classes_find_courses and classes_find_resource kind:"billing_period". role is one of secondary ("Secondary instructor", the default), assistant ("Assistant"), helper ("Assistant instructor") or trainer ("Instructor"), and is per CLASS — Zooza cannot give someone one role on Mondays and another on Wednesdays. This writes across every class and session you select, so it is a two-step tool: call it once with no token to get a plan naming every class and session count, show that to the operator, then call it again with the returned token and confirmed: true. To SEE who is currently assigned, use sessions_find_events (per session) or classes_find_classes (the class roster).
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| company_id | integer | no | Zooza company id to operate against. Optional: if the user has exactly one company, the server defaults to it — you can omit this field. With multiple companies, you MUST specify which; get the id list from `whoami.available_companies[].id`. If the user hasn't indicated which company they mean, ask them before guessing. |
| schedule_ids | array | no | Classes to act on, by id (resolve with classes_find_classes). Use this OR course_id. |
| course_id | integer | no | Programme whose classes to act on. Requires billing_period_id. Resolve with classes_find_courses. |
| billing_period_id | integer | no | Term block narrowing the programme. classes_find_resource kind:"billing_period". |
| assignments | array | no | Who to put on these classes. Entries for one trainer merge, so "Martin Mondays, Peter Tuesdays, both Wednesdays" is two entries: Martin [1,3], Peter [2,3]. |
| session_scope | string | no | REQUIRED when an assignment has no weekdays/event_ids — that person lands on every session otherwise. `upcoming` (usual) / `all` (incl. past) / `class_only` (roster only). Ignored when restricted. |
| deactivate | array | no | Turn someone OFF on specific sessions, leaving them on the class roster. |
| remove_from_class | array | no | Remove these lecturers from the selected classes ENTIRELY — roster row AND every session assignment. Not reversible in one step; the preview states the session count. |
| clear_unlisted | boolean | no | Default false: sessions in `existing_outside_rules` are left alone. True only once the operator confirms they meant "these days and nothing else". |
| token | string | no | Omit on the FIRST call — that call previews the change and returns a token. Pass the token back on the SECOND call to apply the previewed change. Single-use, expires in 15 minutes; if it is expired or already used, run the preview again. |
| confirmed | boolean | no | Required (true) on the apply call, alongside `token`. Asserts that you have SHOWN the user the preview from the first call and they approved it — not that you believe the change is correct. If the user has not seen the preview, show it and ask before setting this. Must be omitted on the preview call. |
