Create 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 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 Oracle Identity Cloud Service Instance URL

   Note:

   It is not possible to create a group with POSIX attributes using the Oracle Identity Cloud Service Administration Console.
