Usergroups
Usergroups are used to group users or other usergroups together. This parent - child relationship i.e. tree organizational structure is very powerful because it allows inheriting settings, permissions, pricing, etc. A usergroup can even represent a company in a B2B environment, although this concept will soon be deprecated and a dedicated Companies resource will be introduced.

Usergroup Errors
This section describes error codes specific for the Usergroup resource.
| Code | Error Type | Status Code | Message | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
20004 | UsergroupExists | 400 | Usergroup already exists | Usergroup with such lookup key already exists |
20005 | UsergroupMultipleFound | 400 | Multuple usergroups found. Please provide additional filters | Multiple usergroups with such lookup key exist |
20006 | UsergroupNotFound | 404 | Usergroup does not exist | Usergroup with such lookup key not found |
20007 | ParentUsergroupNotFound | 404 | Parent usergroup not found | Parent usergroup with such lookup key not found. This error is typical when working with usergroup sub-resources (e.g. attributes, addresses) |
90006 | AddressNotFound | 404 | Address does not exist | Usergroup address does not exist |
📄️ Get Usergroup Addresses by type
Use this endpoint to retrieve a list of all usergroup addresses. Addresses can be filtered by type.
📄️ Create Usergroup Address
Use this endpoint to create an address for a usergroup. If the address is successfully created, the response will include the address `id`.
📄️ Bulk Usergroup Addresses
Use this endpoint to create multiple usergroup addresses with a single API request. If an address with the code provided is found, it will be updated, otherwise a new address will be created. If the code is not provided, a new address will be created. When a new address is successfully created, the response will include the address `id`.
📄️ Get Usergroup Address by Id
Use this endpoint to retrieve details for a usergroup address. The address is identified by `id`.
📄️ Update Usergroup Address
Use this endpoint to update a usergroup address. The address is identified by `id`.
📄️ Create Usergroup
Use this endpoint to create a single usergroup. If a usergroup is successfully created, the response will include the usergroup `id`.
📄️ Get Usergroup by lookup key
Use this endpoint to retrieve usergroup details by lookup key. If multiple usergroups with the same lookup key exist, use additional filtering depending on the lookup key to uniquely identify the usergroup (e.g. `source` and `language` for lookup key `source`).
📄️ Delete Usergroup by lookup key
Delete a usergroup by a specific lookupKey / lookupId combination. A deleted usergroup will be moved to the Propeller Recycle bin. This means the deleted usergroup can be restored, however, only via the Propeller backoffice.
📄️ Update Usergroup by lookup key
Use this endpoint to update usergroup by lookup key. If multiple usergroups with the same lookup key exist, use additional filtering depending on the lookup key to uniquely identify the usergroup (e.g. `source` and `language` for lookup key `source`).
📄️ Bulk Usergroups by source id
The bulk endpoints offer an efficient way of importing/updating large amounts of usergroups with just a single API call. When using the bulk `sourceId` endpoint, the usergroups are identified by `sourceId`, `source` and `language`. If a usergroup doesn't already exist, it will be created. If it does exist, the usergroup found will be updated.
📄️ Bulk Usergroups by Id
The bulk endpoints offer an efficient way of importing/updating large amounts of usergroups with just a single API call. When using the bulk `id` endpoint, the usergroups are identified by `id`. If a usergroup with such `id` doesn't already exist, it will be created. If it does exist, the usergroup found will be updated.
📄️ Search Usergroups
> The usergroups search endpoint is only available on the Propeller cloud version.
