Group

This feature is only available in the Enterprise plan. Please visit our pricing page to learn more.

Overview

This page contains all of the APIs for managing Groups through SCIM Group requests.

Create a Group

This API is intended to be called by a SCIM Client and is used to create a new FusionAuth Group.

Request

Create a Group

POST /api/scim/resource/v2/Groups

The SCIM specification allows for customization of the schemas using extensions. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately document all the possible variations.

The following is an example of a typical SCIM Group request body. However, your incoming request lambda must map these values the FusionAuth Group. A default lambda is provided to handle a typical request that you may modify if necessary.

This example is taken from RFC 7643 Section #4.2.

Example Request Body

Example Request JSON

{
  "externalId": "2819c223-7f76-453a-919d-413861904646",
  "displayName": "Sales Reps",
  "members": [
    {
      "displayName": "John Doe",
      "$ref": "https://login.piedpiper.com/api/scim/v2/Users/902c246b-6245-4190-8e05-00816be7344a",

    }
  ],
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group"
  ]
}

Response

The response for this API contains the Group that was just created in SCIM schema format.

Response Codes

Code	Description
200	The request was successful. The response will contain a JSON body.
400	The request was invalid and/or malformed. The response will contain a SCIM Error JSON Object with the specific errors. This status will also be returned if a paid FusionAuth license is required and is not present.
401	You did not supply a valid JWT in your Authorization header. The response will be empty. Ensure you've correctly set up Entities and performed a Client Credentials grant.
500	There was an internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files. The response will be empty.
503	The search index is not available or encountered an exception so the request cannot be completed. The response will contain a JSON body.
504	One or more Webhook endpoints returned an invalid response or were unreachable. Based on the transaction configuration for this event your action cannot be completed. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files.

For FusionAuth SCIM endpoints, any error responses will be returned in standard SCIM schema. See more details in the SCIM API Overview.

Request

Delete a Group

DELETE /api/scim/resource/v2/Groups/{groupId}
