 API Reference

# `circle_participant`

A computed view representing all participants in a circle, including direct members and inherited participants from child and linked circles.

** Not accessible through the public API**

This entity is not directly accessible via the public API. It is a computed view used internally for permission checks and participant resolution.

## Fields

Field

Type

Description

`circleId`

`uuid`

Reference to the circle

`memberId`

`uuid`

Reference to the member

## Relationships

**Object Relationships:**

*   `circle` — The circle this participant belongs to
*   `member` — The member who is a participant

## Participant Sources

Circle participants are derived from three sources:

1.  **Direct circle members** — from `circle_member` (active memberships only)
2.  **Leaders of child circles** — from `circle_leader` through parent-child relationships
3.  **Leaders of linked circles** — from `circle_leader` through circle links

## Implementation Details

The view is a UNION of three queries and is cached in `circle_participant_cache` for performance. The cache is automatically maintained through database triggers when circle structure changes occur.

** Notes**

Participant status affects access to meetings, tasks, and decisions within the circle. The cache is used for efficient permission checks throughout the system.
