Update Workflow User Permissions

Business applications can use this service API to update the workflow permissions for a user that has already been added to a workflow. Normally this call is useful after a template has been applied to a document and business applications want to override the permissions within the workflow. The ID of the document package is provided in the resource URL, and the workflow user is identified by the order at which it is added to the workflow.
