API ReferenceIdentities

Restore an archived identity

Restores a previously archived identity, making it visible in list results again. If the identity’s monitoring was paused by the archive cascade (paused_reason='archived'), monitoring is also re-enabled. Manually-paused identities (paused_reason='manual') stay paused.
