Thanks for the responses so far, they have been very helpful.

I see that the Discourse API allows the creation of groups. Does it also allow the setting of group membership? Basically what I’d want to do is have all of the membership be managed by my application external to Discourse, and then use API calls to tell Discourse which users are in which groups.
