> Some details about this API endpoint that are important to note:
> 
> - The API user should be an admin(so they should have global scope) to be able to change another user’s notification level.
> - Endpoint URL: `siteurl/t/<topic_id>/notifications`
> - Request type: `POST`
> - Parameters:
> - `username` or `external_id` of the target user. If empty, the admin’s own notifcation level for the topic will be changed.
> - `notification_level`: integer value corresponding to the level
> - `muted: 0,`
> - `regular: 1,`
> - `normal: 1, # alias for regular`
> - `tracking: 2,`
> - `watching: 3,`
