## Returns

[ContactAssignment](/types/ContactAssignment/) `[ContactAssignment!]!` — A contact assignment — ONE role-tagged attachment of a Contact to a HOST construct (org group / organization / logical facility / vendor / corporate customer). Parent = the HOST (the CollectionMember stance — hostId rides the header parentId). The (contact, host, role) triple is unique (a live duplicate is CONFLICT/IDENTITY_TAKEN naming the holder); REMOVE = doom (TWO_STATE — history preserved); re-assigning mints a NEW record via marker takeover. Role↔host applicability is registry DATA. At most 48 live assignments per host.
