Directory Manager (formerly GroupID) APIs

Directory Manager APIs enable developers to quickly intergrate their applications with Directory Manager to "perform actions" such as group creation and lifecycle operations using a relevant Directory Manager API.

Various Directory Manager functions can be performed using these APIs. The response can be returned in JSON format.

These URLs represent various resources — any information or content accessed at that location, which can be returned in JSON format. Often resources have one or more methods that can be performed on them over HTTP, like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE. The action represented by the first and last of these is clear, but POST and PATCH have specific meanings. How they are defined is confusing, but the general rule is: use POST to create resources, PUT and PATCH to update resources.

NOTE: All the APIs documented in the API section are for an Active Directory based identity store. In each API, the Sample Request Syntax and the Sample Response Syntax sections have attributes that are supported in an Active Directory based identity store.
