POST | Activate user group

Prev Next

Description

Activate an inactive user group. Activation is a dedicated action rather than a field, so the active state cannot be changed through PUT | Update user group or PATCH | Partially update user group.

An update sent to an inactive group is refused with 409 api.resource.inactive, so activate the group first when you need to edit it.


Prerequisites


Request

POST /api/v2/iam/user-groups/{id}/activate

This action takes no request body.

Path parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
id integer Yes Unique identification code of the user group.

Example request

POST {{url}}/api/v2/iam/user-groups/7/activate


Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
X-Request-Id: 7f3c1a90-2c4e-4b1a-9f5e-0a2b7c9d1e34

A successful activation returns no body. To confirm the new state, access GET | List a user group.

Attention

Activation does not restore memberships. Deactivating or deleting a group removes all of its members, so add them again after activation. For more information, access POST | Add members to a user group.


Errors

HTTP code Message Possible cause Solution
401 api.auth.unauthorized The access token is missing, invalid, or has expired. Request a new access token.
404 api.resource.not_found The user group does not exist, or it is outside the scope of the authorization. Check the identification code and the authorization scope.
409 api.resource.conflict.already_active The user group is already active. No action is required.
429 api.rate_limit_exceeded The request rate limit was exceeded. Wait the number of seconds returned in the Retry-After header and try again.
