Hello MedPike,
You can find information about updating user groups in the Users guide of our REST API section in our guides, which is available over here: http://devcenter.kinvey.com/rest/guides/users#usergroupsupdate
Please let me know what other questions you have after reviewing this material.
Thanks,
Thanks Damien,
The issue is that we can update group and send the file <JSON-Document-representing-UserGroup>, but when we made this we replace all existing users.
for instance:
Let says that we have a group called "Secretary" and has 1 user: (ID:3)
GET
{
"_id": "Secretary",
"users": {
"_type": "KinveyRef",
"_id": "3",
"_collection": "user"
},
"_acl": {
"creator": "asasdasd"
},
"_kmd": {
"lmt": "2015-08-11T20:13:20.524Z",
"ect": "2015-07-27T04:02:03.960Z"
}
}
the we run the following code to add new user 4 ID the group:
PUT
{
"_id": "Secretary",
"users": {
"_type": "KinveyRef",
"_id": "4",
"_collection": "user"
}
}
but user with ID; 3 disappeared and its replaced by ID:4
see:
{
"_id": "Secretary",
"users": {
"_type": "KinveyRef",
"_id": "4",
"_collection": "user"
},
"_acl": {
"creator": "kid_Z10M63523"
},
"_kmd": {
"lmt": "2015-08-11T20:21:47.361Z",
"ect": "2015-07-27T04:02:03.960Z"
}
}
What we want to do is not replacing existing users in the group when adding new ones....
Have a sample code to do make happen?.
Medpike,
You would first get the list of users using a get, then manually append and upload the modified json document to the backend.
Thanks,
MEDPIKE
Hi,
We want to add users to a existing group.
We know that we can add users when creating group, but in our case we want to create a group first with some users, and then add users to that group.
Let me explain,
We are creating a collection for a doctor who creates patients entries, but also we will grant doctors to add a secretary role account so her can add users and data (appointments), that doctor can see as well. So doctor and secretary belong to a group but the entrance of the latter is made after the group has being made.
We saw that this can be done using REST-API:
https://support.kinvey.com/support/discussions/topics/5000041300?page=1
but we could not find an example code to do that. Can share a link or paste a sample code in order to understand how to add users in a group using REST API.
We can create a group using API, and add list of existing users, but we need add more users coming from registration to this group.
Thanks for help in advance,
