Adding a user to an existing user group

The steps below explain how to list the existing user groups for a company, view the members of a specific group, and add a new user to that group.

StepNameEndpointDetails
List user groups for companyPOST /v3/companies/{companyId}/user-groups/listList all available user groups for a company. You can use search text, filters, and sorting to narrow down results.

URL path requires: companyId.

Request body requires: pagination (with offset and limit). Optionally, provide searchText for case-insensitive search, sortParams to sort by NAME or CREATED_AT, and filters to filter by specific userGroupIds.

Response will contain: userGroups (an array of user group objects each containing a unique id, name, and a description).

Other APIs will use: userGroups > id (referred to as groupId in subsequent steps).
Get user groupGET /v3/companies/{companyId}/user-groups/{groupId}View the details of a specific user group selected from Step 1. This step is useful for confirming the group's name, description, and whether it is modifiable before proceeding.

URL path requires: companyId and groupId (both as path parameters).

Response will contain: the full user group object including id, name, description, companyId, isUnmodifiable, createdAt, updatedAt, createdBy, and updatedBy.

Note: If isUnmodifiable is true, the group is platform-created and its name, description, and assigned roles cannot be changed. However, user members can still be added to it or removed from it.

Other APIs will use: groupId from this response.
List user group membersPOST /v3/companies/{companyId}/user-groups/{groupId}/membersView the current members of the user group selected in Step 2. Use this step to verify existing members before adding a new user.

URL path requires: companyId and groupId.

Response will contain: members (an array of member objects each containing userId and addedAt) and pagination with totalNumResults.

Note: Use this response to confirm that the user you intend to add is not already a member of the group.
List user group roles (optional)POST /v3/companies/{companyId}/user-groups/{groupId}/rolesView the roles currently assigned to the user group. This helps you understand what permissions the new user will inherit once added to the group.

URL path requires: companyId and groupId from Step 1.

Response will contain: roles (an array of role objects each containing role details with id, name, description, isPlatformRole, permissions, and associated scope information).
Update user group membersPATCH /v3/companies/{companyId}/user-groups/{groupId}/membersAdd the new user to the user group.

URL path requires: companyId and groupId.

Request body requires: userIdsToAdd (an array of user IDs to add to the group).

Note: Users being added must belong to the same company as the user group. Once added, they will automatically inherit all roles and scopes assigned to the group.

Response will contain: a 200 status code confirming the members were updated successfully.
List user groups for user (optional)POST /v3/users/{userId}/user-groupsVerify that the user was successfully added by listing all user groups the user belongs to.

URL path requires: userId.

Response will contain: userGroups (an array of user group objects that the user is a member of). The user group from Step 2 should now appear in this list, confirming the user has been successfully added and has inherited the group's roles and scopes.
