## Group Update

This event has been available since 1.38.0

This event is generated when a group is updated. The JSON includes the Group that was updated.

Event type

group.update

### Event Scope

This is a tenant scoped event.

It can be sent to all tenants or to one or more specified tenants. However, those tenants will not be sent events for other tenants, but only events related to themselves.

### Transaction Compatibility

This event is transactional. The final state of the operation which caused the webhook is not persisted to FusionAuth until after the webhook finishes; [learn more](/docs/extend/events-and-webhooks/writing-a-webhook#calling-fusionauth-apis-in-webhooks)
