    Create user groups and assign users in code

    Extending Umbraco and using the API
    Umbraco 8

    In v8 is it possible to create user groups and assign users to those groups, the way we can with members and roles using the IMemberService?

    I had a look at the IUserService and can create users just fine but not groups or assignations.

    Is this in another service or is it not possible?

    thanks

    Hi Damion

    I think it is! there is an overload of the Save method of the UserService that accepts a UserGroup object, and an array of ids corresponding to Users to add...

    I am gleaning this by looking at the source for the code here:

    https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/853087a75044b814df458457dc9a1f778cc89749/src/Umbraco.Core/Services/Implement/UserService.cs#L843

    but I think something like this could work...

    UserGroup SuperAdmins = new UserGroup() { Alias = "superAdmins", Name="Super Admin" };
    userService.Save(SuperAdmins, new int[] { 123, 124 });

    regards

    Marc
