How do you get the json values required by the Crowd group-level-admin REST method?

Im using a local crowd environment for development and i would like to add a group admin via rest api as described in => https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-crowd/4.0.0/REST/#admin/1.0/group-level-admin-addGroupAdministrators So far i couldn't understand the json schema needed to add a group administrator => { "id": "https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/schema/list-of-directory-entity-rest#", "title": "List of Directory Entity Rest", "type": "array", "items": { "title": "Directory Entity Rest", "type": "object", "properties": { "id": { "title": "Directory Entity Id", "type": "object" }, "type": { "type": "string", "enum": [ "USER", "GROUP" ] } }, "additionalProperties": false }} As value for the id i used the groupId as mentioned here=>https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Crowd-questions/How-do-you-get-the-groupId-required-by-the-Crowd-group-level/qaq-p/1127534 which worked for a rest api get on a group but i dont understand the other values in the schema.

Hi

Are you able to use it ?

The entityName, it's the group name (base-64 encoded) right ?

I have the error:

Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of START_OBJECT token

Then, I have surunded the payload by "[" and "]". I get this error:

Unrecognized field "grantEntities" (Class com.atlassian.crowd.plugin.rest.entity.directory.DirectoryEntityRestDTO), not marked as ignorable
at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@4ac58d90; line: 1, column: 82] (through reference chain: com.atlassian.crowd.plugin.rest.entity.directory.DirectoryEntityRestDTO["grantEntities"])

Thanks

On this endpoint you need to follow next json schema to post data

{
  "grantEntities": [
    {
      "id": "directoryId-entityName",
      "type": "GROUP"
    },
    {
      "id": "directoryId-entityName",
      "type": "USER"
    }
 ]
}

curl --location --request POST '{{host}}/crowd/rest/admin/1.0/group-level-admin/{{groupId}}/admins' \--header 'Authorization: Basic Base64 username:password' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--data-raw '{"grantEntities": [{"id": "{directoryId}-{entityName}","type": "GROUP"},{"id": "{directoryId}-{entityName}","type": "USER"}]}'
