User Groups

Hi, how do I create a user group via web console? What are all the different flags that can be set? For instance I can see that "gr": true means global read, what are the other flags?


Thanks

Hi Daniel,


User groups cannot be created using Kinvey web console. Actually, no actions related to Group API can be taken from web console or Kinvey SDKs. Group API is supported only through REST interface.


The "gr" flag is an entity level setting used to override collection settings, not directly related to user groups. The documentation for that is available here: http://devcenter.kinvey.com/rest/guides/security#entityanduserpermissions


I would recommend implementing a custom solution for user groups without using Kinvey user groups. That is only if your application has a genuine requirement for such a use case.
