##Creating User Groups



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").

Hi Caroline



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.



Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification!
