Set an override

Fixes the flag on or off for one end user, {identityType}:{identityValue} in the path, in an environment, optionally in one variant by its variantKey, whatever the rules say.

Replaces the end user's override there, answering 201 when there was none. In test it gives test a configuration of its own, started from production's. Works on an experiment's flag in production, to put a tester in an arm.

Errors

StatustypecodeWhen

It can also fail with the errors every operation shares, such as unauthenticated; see Errors.
