As of April 12th, you must go to Progress SupportLink to create new support cases or to access existing cases. Please, bookmark the SupportLink URL and use the new portal to contact the support team.
See the REST documentation on [User Groups](http://devcenter.kinvey.com/rest/guides/users#usergroups "User Groups").
In the future, we plan to have console support for groups.
##Setting Permissions
###Collection Level
You can set the [collection permissions](http://devcenter.kinvey.com/rest/guides/security#collectionpermissions "collection permissions") via the settings in the console.
###Entity Level
You can update the ACL attribute of any entity directly by either by using the [collection access module](http://devcenter.kinvey.com/ios/reference/business-logic/reference.html#collection-access-module "collection access module") in Business Logic or by using the REST API.
**Collection Access Module**
This gives you an API to perform raw data operations like saving and fetching. You can use it to save the entity which has _acl already set to the right value.
For exact _acl syntax, see [Entity and User Permissions](http://devcenter.kinvey.com/rest/guides/security#entityanduserpermissions "Entity and User Permissions"). In the future we plan to provide helper methods, or to make the same syntax as JS library available in BL.
_Example: Caroline wants to create an entity that belongs to an administrative group. She creates a before-save collection hook, in which she modifies request.body._acl to allow access to the administrative group and calls response.continue(). Please look at the business logic guide part on [collection hooks](http://devcenter.kinvey.com/ios/guides/business-logic#collection-hooks "collection hooks")._
**REST API**
See documentation on saving via the [REST API](http://devcenter.kinvey.com/rest/guides/datastore#Saving "REST API").
The docs with the code example for how to update a user group (in REST section) has been broken for a few weeks. Any chance of getting that fixed up? (looks like how your docs are auto-generated)
Currently the docs say

Thanks!

Hi @"A B", can you be more specific about what issue you see with the quoted line?
As an aside -- the majority of our documentation is not actually automatically generated.

Hi Gal
Oh - ok!
I was expecting to see some JSON there, not a line saying that there would be some JSON there, if you see what I mean.
e.g. The CREATE method has a full JSON example. I would expect the UPDATE one to have a similar structure and example.
Users is my next big thing to work out how it works on Kinvey so Caroline's note was appreciated and timely.
