Group APIs
Overview
A FusionAuth Group is a named object that optionally contains one to many Application Roles.
When a Group does not contain any Application Roles it can still be utilized to logically associate users. Assigning Application Roles to a group allow it to be used to dynamically manage Role assignment to registered Users. In this second scenario as long as a User is registered to an Application the Group membership will allow them to inherit the corresponding Roles from the Group.
The following APIs are provided to manage Groups and Group Membership.
Create a Group
This API is used to create a new Group.
Request
Create a Group with a randomly generated Id
POST /api/group
Request Headers
- X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional
-
The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
When only a single tenant is configured the tenant Id can be assumed and this additional header is optional. Once more than one tenant has been configured in FusionAuth the tenant Id is required for this request. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Create a Group with the provided unique Id
POST /api/group/{groupId}
Request Parameters
- groupId [UUID] Optional defaults to secure random UUID
-
The Id to use for the new Group. If not specified a secure random UUID will be generated.
Request Headers
- X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional
-
The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
When only a single tenant is configured the tenant Id can be assumed and this additional header is optional.

Update a Group
This API is used to update an existing Group.
You must specify the Id of the Group you are updating on the URI.
You must specify all of the properties of the Group when calling this API with the PUT
HTTP method. When used with PUT
, this API doesn’t merge the existing Group and your new data. It replaces the existing Group with your new data.
Utilize the PATCH
HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing Group.
Request
Update the Group with the given Id
PUT /api/group/{groupId}
PATCH /api/group/{groupId}
Available since 1.39.0
When using the PATCH method, you can either use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request for backward compatibility. Or you may use either JSON Patch/RFC 6902 or JSON Merge Patch/RFC 7396. See the
PATCH
documentation for more information.Available since 1.12.0
When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A
null
value can be used to remove a value. Patching anArray
will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.

Add Users to a Group
This API is used to add Users to a Group. A User that is added to a Group is called a member, a user can belong to one to many Groups.
Adding a User to a Group can be used to logically group users, Group members can be returned by the Search API by searching by the Group Id. Application Roles may also be managed by a Group membership. When a User becomes a member of a Group they will inherit the Application Roles assigned to the Group for their registered Applications. If a User is not registered for an Application the Application Roles for that Application will not be applied to the User.

Remove Users from a Group
This API is used to remove Users from a Group. Removing a User from a Group removes their Group membership. Removing a User from a Group effectively modifies their assigned Roles if Application Roles are being managed through the Group membership.
Request

DELETE /api/group/member/{memberId}
Request Parameters
- memberId [UUID] Required
-
The unique Id of the Group Member to delete.
Request Headers
- X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional
-
The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
