Application Groups

The Application Groups API provides a set of operations to manage group assignment for an app.

List all Application Groups
OAuth 2.0: okta.apps.read

Lists all app group assignments

Request
path Parameters
appId
required
string

Application ID

Example: 0oafxqCAJWWGELFTYASJ
query Parameters
q
string

Specifies a filter for a list of assigned groups returned based on their names. The value of q is matched against the group name. This filter only supports the startsWith operation that matches the q string against the beginning of the Group name.

Example: q=test
after
string

Specifies the pagination cursor for the next page of results. Treat this as an opaque value obtained through the next link relationship. See Pagination.

Example: after=16275000448691
limit
integer <int32> [ 20 .. 200 ]
Default: 20

Specifies the number of objects to return per page. If there are multiple pages of results, the Link header contains a next link that you need to use as an opaque value (follow it, don't parse it). See Pagination.

Examples:
limit=20
limit=100
limit=200
expand
string

An optional query parameter to return the corresponding assigned Group or the group assignment metadata details in the _embedded property.

Examples:
expand=group
expand=metadata

Priority assigned to the group. If an app has more than one group assigned to the same user, then the group with the higher priority has its profile applied to the Application User.
If a priority value isn't specified, then the next highest priority is assigned by default.
See Assign attribute group priority and the sample priority use case.


 
object (GroupAssignmentProfile)
