How to add user/s to a group through REST API?

Question

Hi,

I wonder how to add user/s to an existing group? Or how to add users when creating a group through REST API?

Thanks in advance.

Additional note for future visitors - the group name specified in that request has to exactly match the upper/lower/mixed case of the group in the system. The other REST group APIs are case insensitive.

Send a POST to /rest/api/2/group/user?groupname=my-group, and pass a JSON string such as {"name":"someuser"} as the payload.
