How to enable/associate a newly created group with an app related directory via REST API?

Allan Margono

I can create a new group via REST API but can't find any API to enable/associate the newly created group with the application Directory. Currently, this has to be done via the Admin console GUI.

Has anyone found the right API for this?

Thanks

Thanks Bruno,

It does the trick :-)

Another question, I can't remove a user from a group, it gave me error.

Here is the RestApi snippet

Appreciate your input on this.

Thanks,

The resource URI should be

/rest/usermanagement/1/user/group/direct

instead of

/rest/usermanagement/1/group/user/direct

;-)

Thanks for quick response, still no luck, something weird with the error message it said groupName can't be empty.

Here is the harcoded groupname and username:
