Ideally I’d like to set the primary group when I invite a user to be the group I’m adding in the invite, but I don’t see a way to do that. Is there any way via the api to set the primary group for a user? Cheers

If you can change it with the UX you can change it with the API. See Reverse engineer the Discourse API Oh, but if you mean with the Gem, then I don’t know. Sorry

thank for respond @pfaffman I test with reverse but don’t work I received 404 not found :frowning: /admin/users/barto_95/primary_group.json: { "errors": [ "L'URL ou la ressource demandée n'a pas été retrouvée." ], "error_type": "not_found" } and with /admin/users/2/primary_group.json: (2 =…

See Reverse engineer the Discourse API. That’s the most reliable way to figure out the API and it’s always up to date.
