Group memberships via the API

Add users to groups and remove them with Web API v3

Written by Marie Xhauflair

A user is member of zero or more groups. Content is unlocked for users based on the groups they are member of.

Reporting rights and sub-admin permissions are also assigned on a group. See Permissions via the API.

Part of Web API v3 for user management. You need a token with the v3:groupmemberships:read or v3:groupmemberships:write scope, see Authenticating with the Web API v3.


Direct and indirect group memberships

The API only shows direct group membership.

In the TinQwise learning platform, users are considered to be indirect members of the parent groups of the groups they are in.

Taking the example structure in Groups and group types via the API, a user will be considered to be an indirect member of the "Netherlands" group when they are in the "Amsterdam" group.


Retrieving group memberships

Use the GET /api/v3/public/group_memberships/ endpoint to retrieve a list of all group memberships.

Field

Description

group_uuid

The uuid of the group.

user_uuid

The uuid of the user.


Creating group memberships

POST a user UUID and group UUID to /api/v3/public/group_memberships/ to add a user to a group.


Deleting group memberships

Send a DELETE to /api/v3/public/group_memberships/{group_uuid}/{user_uuid}/ to remove a user from a group.

🚧 Be careful

Be careful when deleting group memberships. Some group memberships are used for internal purposes, such as programme access (Programme group group type) or to keep track of which voucher was used to create the user (voucher group type).

✏️ Tip

In general, it is a good rule of thumb to only delete memberships of groups that are also created through the API.


Modifying group memberships

Memberships can not be modified. They can only be listed, created or deleted.
