Automation Suite API guide
Last updated Feb 24, 2025
Create a New Local Group
Creates a new local group in the specified organization ID, and adds the indicated users to it.
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}'\
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}'\
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
Note: To obtain the
{access_token}
, make sure to authenticate through one of the methods described here.
The request body contains the organization ID to which to want to add the group to, and, optionally, the users you want to add as members in the new group.
{
"partitionGlobalId": "string",
"id": "string",
"name": "string",
"directoryUserMemberIDs": [
"string", "string"
]
}
{
"partitionGlobalId": "string",
"id": "string",
"name": "string",
"directoryUserMemberIDs": [
"string", "string"
]
}
Let's say you gathered all the information needed to build the API call.
- Your
{baseURL}
is:https://{yourDomain}/{organizationName}/{tenantName}/
-
Your
{access_token}
is:1234
(for length considerations). - The
{partitionGlobalId}
is:magic-7
- You want to name the group:
"Gryffindors"
-
You want to add users Ron, Harry, and Hermione to the group. These users have the following user IDs:
- Ron user identifier:
ron-0103
- Harry user identifier:
har-3107
- Hermione user identifier:
her-1909
- Ron user identifier:
The call should resemble the following example (cURL):
curl --location --request POST 'https://{yourDomain}/{organizationName}/{tenantName}/identity_/api/Group' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--data-raw '{
"partitionGlobalId":"magic-7",
"name":"Gryffindors",
"id": "gryff-01",
"directoryUserMemberIDs":
["ron-0103", "har-3107", "her-1909"]
}'
curl --location --request POST 'https://{yourDomain}/{organizationName}/{tenantName}/identity_/api/Group' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--data-raw '{
"partitionGlobalId":"magic-7",
"name":"Gryffindors",
"id": "gryff-01",
"directoryUserMemberIDs":
["ron-0103", "har-3107", "her-1909"]
}'
Here is the response for a successful call:
