Update a department

Updates one department in the current organization. Admin access is required, and the departments feature must be enabled for the organization. The body is partial. When the name changes, the slug is regenerated from the new name. Access requires an active organization administrator session or an organization API key with the `departments:write` scope. API-key calls also require the automation API module. Data is isolated to the authenticated organization; identifiers from another organization or site are not disclosed.
