Replacing Group Users
AVAILABLE WITH BUSINESS SUBSCRIPTION
Method: updateGroupMembers
Permissions to Run the Request
Account Owner, Account Administrators, Department Administrators, or custom roles.
The users whose IDs are indicated in the method will completely replace existing group members. That means that an empty userIds parameter sent within the method will remove all users from the group. If two user IDs are sent, all previous groups members will be deleted from the group and two new participants will be added.
Important:
Let's say, a Department Administrator or a user with a role with custom settings allowing them to replace group users sends a list of new users which should be added to the group. There are already some users in the group, both from departments the sender manages and from departments the sender doesn't have access to.
After the method is performed, all new users sent within the method will be added to the group. But concerning existing members, only users from the departments the sender manages and their daughter departments will be removed.
Participants who belong to the departments which aren't managed by the sender will remain in the group.
