Creating a Group with POSIX Attributes

Create a group with POSIX attributes.

  1. Create a group.json file with the following request body:

    group.json 

    { "schemas":
[ "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group",
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:oracle:idcs:extension:group:Group",
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:oracle:idcs:extension:posix:Group" ],
"displayName": "posix group",
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:oracle:idcs:extension:group:Group": {
"description": "", "creationMechanism": "idcsui" },
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:oracle:idcs:extension:posix:Group": {
"gidNumber": 11010 },
"members": [] }

    where:

    • displayName is set to the name of the group that you wish to create
    • gidNumber must be set to a unique group id (gid) number. Use the getent group command on Linux to see the existing group gid's.
  2. Run the following curl command to create the group: 
    curl -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token-string>" "https://identity-cloud-service-instance-url/admin/v1/Groups" -d '@group.json'

    where:

    • token-string is the OAuth access token that you obtained
    • identity-cloud-service-instance-url is your IAM Instance URL
    Note

    You can't create a group with POSIX attributes using the Console.
