Hi

I wrote a plugin to create new group in Appian.

I used the groupService.createGroup(Group g) to create a new group in Appian. My code snippet is:

Group grp1 = new Group(Group.SECURITYMAP_PUBLIC,"myCustomGroup1");
Long groupId = grpService.createGroup(grp1);

The code worked and created a "TEAMS" group. Since I used Group.SECURITYMAP_PUBLIC constant, I expected a Custom Group to get created.

I am NOT using SECURITYMAP_TEAM. So I could not understand why it created a TEAM Group.

Please suggest me How to create a CUSTOM Group?

Thanks in advance

Thanks,
Jhothi

You need to set the group type to be of type Custom Group.

Group myNewGroup = new Group(GroupBase.SECURITYMAP_PUBLIC, "Group from API");
myNewGroup.setGroupTypeId(groupTypeService.getGroupTypeId("Custom"));
gs.createGroup(myNewGroup);
