Symptom
You wish to know whether it's possible to CREATE Dynamic Groups via OData API.
Resolution
To CREATE Dynamic Groups via OData API you should perform a upsert such as below:
Operation | Upsert |
HTTP Method | POST |
URI | https://<API-Server>/odata/v2/upsert |
Payload |
{ "__metadata": { "uri": "DynamicGroup" }, "groupType": "permission", "dgIncludePools": [ { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGPeoplePool" }, "peoplePoolId": "3600_1", "filters": [ { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFilter" }, "expressions": [ { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGExpression" }, "operator": { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldOperator" }, "token": "eq" }, "values": [ { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldValue" }, "fieldValue": "UserA" } ] }, { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGExpression" }, "operator": { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldOperator" }, "token": "eq" }, "values": [ { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldValue" }, "fieldValue": "UserB" } ] }, { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGExpression" }, "operator": { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldOperator" }, "token": "eq" }, "values": [ { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldValue" }, "fieldValue": "UserC" } ] }, { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGExpression" }, "operator": { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldOperator" }, "token": "eq" }, "values": [ { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldValue" }, "fieldValue": "UserX" } ] } ], "field": { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGField" }, "name": "std_username", "allowedOperators": { "__metadata": { "uri": "DGFieldOperator" }, "token": "eq" } } } ] } ] } |
It's important to keep in mind that the method to CREATE a Dynamic Group via API is basically the same as UPDATING Dynamic Groups, but you MUST remove the groupId from the Request Body. This will make API create a new Dynamic Group instead of updating it.
