Hi,

I want to add the users to a specific group through create user API. Currently, we don’t have an option to pass the group name/ id.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/a/3a669ad1d24bf18f09585c7c1869e28a2a5d3fc2.png)

Can someone please suggest me how can I add the users to specific group?

Thanks  
Kumar

Hello,

It’s not on the user section that you specify the group.  
You need to specify the members at group level.

I find that the best way to figure out the API is [How to reverse engineer the Discourse API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-reverse-engineer-the-discourse-api/20576)
