Create a Group

post

/20160918/groups

Create a new group in your tenancy. Specify the OCID of your tenancy for the compartment OCID in the request.

You must specify a name for the group, which must be unique across all groups in your tenancy and cannot be changed.

You must specify a description for the group, although it can be an empty string.

After you send your request, the new object's lifecycleState will temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its lifecycleState has changed to ACTIVE.

After creating the group, add users to the group (see AddUserToGroup) and write policies for the group (see CreatePolicy). You can use the group name or OCID when writing policies for the group. For more information about policies, see "Managing Policies" (https://docs.oracle.com/en/engineered-systems/private-cloud-appliance/3.0-latest/user/user-usr-manage-policies.html).

Request

Supported Media Types

• application/json

Header Parameters

• opc-retry-token: string
  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 64

  A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected).

Body ()

Request object for creating a new group.
