Create User Group Using POST

• Auth

If the authSourceId is specified(in the request), then the user group will be imported from the corresponding auth source (LDAP/AD/SSO/VIDM).Note that the id of the user group has to be null. For LDAP/AD groups the distinguishedName should be provided in the name field. The value of displayName is used only while importing LDAP/AD groups, and if it is not provided then the value of name will be assigned to it. For SSO/VIDM groups the value of name is assigned to displayName. NOTE: Before importing please make sure that the group exists in the specified authSource by using the following API - /api/auth/sources/{id}/usergroups/search . Otherwise, if you try to import a non-existing group, a new one will be created with the specified authSourceId.
