Hi,
I need to use REST services to add a bunch of users to a bunch of groups. I have the documentation, but it does not show the syntax if I have nested groups - like the ones automatically created by the domain template tool.

For example - group name = "nameoftheApplication" and sub-groups "basicuser", "advanceduser" under that group. How do you do that with the REST call? Anybody know?

Hello Mike,
I see you created a case for this and got an answer. For anyone else who has a similar question, here is the answer:

http://host:port/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/SSYS/USERS/Userid?IBIRS_action=addUserToGroup&IBIRS_groupPath=/SSYS/GROUPS/nameofthe Application/basicuser;/SSYS/GROUPS/nameoftheApplication/advanceduser

Yes, thank you. I have not actually tried this yet, so I didn't want to put out any potentially bad information.

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier, but I had put together a list of links for creating users groups, adding users to groups, deleting users and groups..

Maybe someone else can use some of these in the future.

Create User
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/SSYS/USERS/MyNewUser?IBIRS_action=put&IBIRS_object=<object _jt="IBFSUserObject" description="My New User" email="my.new@user.com" password="abc123" type="User"><status _jt="IBSSUserStatus" name="ACTIVE"/></object>


Create Group
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/SSYS/GROUPS/MyNewGroup?IBIRS_action=put&IBIRS_object=<object _jt="IBFSGroupObject" container="true" description="My Group Title" type="Group"></object>


Adding User to One or more Groups
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/SSYS/USERS/MyNewUser?IBIRS_action=addUserToGroup&IBIRS_groupPath=/SSYS/GROUPS/MyNewGroup;/SSYS/GROUPS/Administrators


Delete Group
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/SSYS/GROUPS/MyNewGroup?IBIRS_action=delete


Delete User
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs/ibfs/SSYS/USERS/MyNewUser?IBIRS_action=delete


Also I don't know how to use it as this page complexes me, but IBI has a page to test or create or delete these links.. I think it is anyway.
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs?IBIRS_action=TEST
