I’m trying to use the Discourse API to update a group with a particular user. In the docs that I have found, there wasn’t any information on this, only the ability to create a group.

Something similar to this will add users “bill” and “ben” to group “flower_pot_men”: /** * Add users to a specified group, create the group if it doesn't exist. * * @param string $group_name name of group * @param array $usernames users to add to group * * @return mixed HTTP return c…

[imagem] jefflau: I also tried to watch the XHR request when I’m actually updating a group on discourse with another user. The API seems to be calling this URL: groups/[group_name]/members.json, which I can call with a GET and get back the group info, but I get an error when I tried to PUT with …
