Group Management

Within the IAM system, groups serve to aggregate identities, facilitating streamlined management and access control. Managing groups involves several key activities:

Create a Group

Create a new group in an account. If needed, you can provide a Group ID; otherwise, it will be autogenerated. An example request for creating a group is provided below:

POST {base URL}/groups

{
  "name": "IAM Group",
  "description": "This is a sample group"
}

Associate members

Populate the group by adding members such as users or applications, thereby defining the group’s membership. An example request for adding a user in a group is given below:

POST {base URL}/groups/{group_id}/users

{
  "id": "c4cc85be-c5b1-479f-8b0b-877383c07a60"
}

Members from other accounts: Members added to the group can belong to any account, not just the account associated with the group. Associated members of the group can be listed.

Note: Non-Identity entities cannot be added to groups.
