Group Memberships

A membership links an agent to a group. Groups can have many agents, as agents can be in many groups. You can use the API to list what agents are in which groups, and reassign group members.

JSON format

Group Memberships are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
created_at	string	true	false	The time the group was created
default	boolean	false	false	If true, tickets assigned directly to the agent will assume this membership's group
group_id	integer	false	true	The id of a group
id	integer	true	false	Automatically assigned upon creation
updated_at	string	true	false	The time of the last update of the group
url	string	true	false	The API url of this record
user_id	integer	false	true	The id of an agent

List Memberships

• GET /api/v2/group_memberships
• GET /api/v2/users/{user_id}/group_memberships
• GET /api/v2/groups/{group_id}/memberships

Pagination

• Cursor pagination (recommended)
• Offset pagination

See Pagination.

Returns a maximum of 100 records per page.

Allowed For:

• Agents

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Required	Description
group_id	integer	Path	true	The ID of the group
user_id	integer	Path	true	The id of the user
