How to create a group for app users?

New post

Hello ,

Currently we have a box Enterprise and an Managed user account ('Function id') for all the files and folders. And we created 25 app users as co-owner for the same files and folders.

The case is :

We want use the Function id(an Managed user) to create a group include whole 25 app users. The step of creating group is fine. But I cannot create the membership of the App users to the groups. I don't know why, and the api error seems I do not have the permission to do that.

Otherwise, How to grant the access of folders to multiple users at a time in bulk?

Correct my problem：
I have an application and Create 25 APP users by the application token. Now I need create a group for 25 app users. But It seems the application cannot create the groups for the app users.

I tested adding App Users to a group, and it worked as expected. Below are the steps and cURL commands I used.

1. Create a new group using the Create Group endpoint.
```
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/groups \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-d '{"name": "App Users Test Group"}' \
-X POST 
```
2. Add App User to a group using the Create Membership endpoint
```
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/group_memberships \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-d '{ "user": { "id": "APP_USER_ID"}, "group": { "id": "GROUP_ID" } }' \
-X POST
```
3. Get group members using the Get Membership for Group endpoint.
```
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/groups/GROUP_ID/memberships \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```
Can you please share the error message the API returns when you try to add App Users to a group? Can you also please confirm if you have enabled the Manage Groups application scope?
