Legal hold policy assignment

Legal Hold Assignments are used to assign Legal Hold Policies to Users, Folders, Files, or File Versions.

Creating a Legal Hold Assignment puts a hold on the File-Versions that belong to the Assignment's 'apply-to' entity.

This resource has a few variations that can be encountered when using the API.

The fields that are part of the base variant represent the default fields that are always returned when using the fields query parameter, additional to the fields specified in the parameter.
