Groups

A group associates a name to a list of principals <api-principals>. It is useful in order to handle permissions. Groups are defined in buckets.

A group is a mapping with the following attributes:

data: attributes of the group object
- id: the group object id
- last_modified: the timestamp of the last modification
- members: a list of principals <api-principals>
permissions: the ACLs <ACL> for the group object (e.g who is allowed to read or update the group object itself.)

When used in permissions definitions, the full group URI has to be used:

{
    "write": ["/buckets/blog/groups/authors", "github:lili"],
    "read": ["system.Everyone"]
}
