Expanding the teams response

LaunchDarkly supports four fields for expanding the “Create team” response. By default, these fields are not included in the response.

To expand the response, append the expand query parameter and add a comma-separated list with any of the following fields:

members includes the total count of members that belong to the team.
roles includes a paginated list of the custom roles that you have assigned to the team.
projects includes a paginated list of the projects that the team has any write access to.
maintainers includes a paginated list of the maintainers that you have assigned to the team.

For example, expand=members,roles includes the members and roles fields in the response.
