Example: Creating a group account
Here’s a sample PUT request that creates a group account for the Finance tenant. The account is defined in an XML file named admin-GA.xml. The name of the group account is specified in the XML file. For the request to be successful, a group with this name must already exist in AD. The request is made using a tenant-level user account that includes the security role.
Request body in XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <groupAccount> <groupname>hcp-admin@ad.example.com</groupname> <roles> <role>MONITOR</role> <role>ADMINISTRATOR</role> </roles> </groupAccount>
