jobName	The name of this job. Example: ExportSecurity	No	Export Security
fileName	The name of the file to which records should be exported. The file containing the exported data is stored in the Planning repository. If fileName is not specified, a file is auto-generated with a name containing the user name, current date, and time stamp. For example, test_admin_SecurityRecords_2019-02-26-04-34-45-420.csv.	No	The file name is auto-generated

exportGroups	Comma separated user names. Only ACL records related to the specified groups are exported.	No	None

Notes:

• This job can take only exportGroups or exportUsers at one time. If you need to export groups and users, you must run the job twice, once with each parameter.
• If a user name or group name contains a comma, escape the comma in the request. For example, if a user name is test,User, the request should contain test\\,User.
• For the file format, see the definition in Import Security Records.

For a sample URL, see Sample URL and Payload in Execute a Job.
