get_all_matter_custodians(legal_hold_uid=None, user_uid=None, user=None, active=True)

Gets all Legal Hold memberships.

Each user (Custodian) who has been added to a Legal Hold Matter is returned by the server as a LegalHoldMembership object in the response body. If the object’s active state is “INACTIVE”, they have been removed from the Matter and are no longer subject to the Legal Hold retention rules. Users can be Custodians of multiple Legal Holds at once (and thus would be part of multiple LegalHoldMembership objects).

user_uid (str, optional) – Find LegalHoldMemberships for the user with this identifier. Defaults to None.
user (str, optional) – Find LegalHoldMemberships by flexibly searching on username, email, extUserRef, or last name. Will find partial matches. Defaults to None.
active (bool or None, optional) – Find LegalHoldMemberships by their active state. True returns active LegalHoldMemberships, False returns inactive LegalHoldMemberships, None returns all LegalHoldMemberships regardless of state. Defaults to True.
