GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a group with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the group . The other will find a list of groups matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET by ID

This GET service will find a group with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group/{Id}

Request

groupId	Long	The unique Id of the group.
groupName	String	The unique name of the group.
isActive	Boolean	The boolean representing whether the group is active. If isActive is updated to null it will default to true.
globalPermissions	List<GlobalPermission>	The list of global permissions associated with the group

   "isFlexDeployAdministrator": false,
   "groupId": 10000,
   "groupName": "test",

   "deploymentPermissions": {"environments":    [
      18605,
      20610
   ],
	"allEnvironments":false
}
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group/10000

The GET request would return the following JSON group object

Group - 10000

{
   "description": "test",

}

GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will return a list of groups in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters group name. Groups are only returned if they match all of the specified query parameters. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of groups.

API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

groupName={groupname}

Examples:

To search by group name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group?groupName=read

* searching by group name returns all groups that contain the specified string in their group name

The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by groupName=NAME is the same as searching by groupName=name.
