## Example Request

Let's say you gathered all the information needed to build the API call.

* Your `{baseURL}` is: https://{yourDomain}/identity
* Your `{access_token}` is: `1234` (for length considerations).
* The `{partitionGlobalId}` is: `3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6`
* You want to name the group: `"Gryffindors"`
* You want to add users Ron, Harry, and Hermione to the group. These users have the following user IDs:
  + Ron user identifier: `ron-0103`
  + Harry user identifier: `har-3107`
  + Hermione user identifier: `her-1909`

The call should resemble the following example (cURL):

```
curl --location --request POST 'https://{yourDomain}/identity/api/Group' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--data-raw '{
    "partitionGlobalId":"3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6",
    "name":"Gryffindors",
    "id": "gryff-01",
    "directoryUserMemberIDs":
    ["ron-0103", "har-3107", "her-1909"]
}'
```
