The users get an email stating that they have been added, and it lets them finish setting up their account. BTW I'm just a customer like you.

It just creates the account. No password needed to log in, but one can be set if wanted. See https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Logging-In Duane

Thank you! I saw that, and am happy to upgrade the site to premium. (The rest API says the site needs to be upgraded to use the directadd call) The parameters to Directadd only are email address -- it

Have you looked at directadd? It adds the users and subscribes them. -Andrew--

I can successfully use the Rest API, but now need help going the next step I want to move over forum messages, but in order to do so I need to create USERS and subscriptions for the original posters.

Can you give me a quick hint as to all of the notifications that I should turn off prior to importing thousands of messages and members? (via the rest API) I'd like to be able to get this all set up

Nevermind -- I got this one working by posting the request differently. Thank you! All good (for the moment) -Ken W

Greetings. I have several thousand posts, replies and members to move over from several websites. My plan is to use the API to do so and I have just started experimenting. I have successfully logged

thanks Mark for answering!

Hello, The thing to remember with permissions is that if you don't have permission to do something using the website, you won't have permission to do it using the API. Mark

The permission to download archives can be enabled by checking the corresponding box within the `Admin>Settings>Message Policies` page. Note that if this box is checked, any subscriber can download

How far back does the yahoo storm set you on your roadmap? I am interested in using the API to upload files, but it is marked "don't use" right now. Can you estimate when you might have time to get

The group's owner doesn't know how to enable the download_archives permission. Is there any documentation that explains how to do that? Cheers, Valerio

Hi there, How can I enable the download_archives permission to download archives from a group? Should I contact the group's owner or there are some steps I can do on my side? Thanks in

It's on the road map. Probably in a week or two. Thanks, Mark

There doesn't appear to be an endpoint to access a group's file uploads. Is this on the roadmap? I'm still wading through the API reference documentation so I may be missing something. Thanks, Matt

I have added new endpoints to log in via Facebook or Google using Oauth. Please see the API docs in the Login section. Cheers, Mark

Hello, There are some upcoming breaking changes to the API. The most important change is that we're switching from HTTP Basic Auth to a cookies based authentication. Starting now, the /login endpoint

The API doesn't yet support it, but that needs to happen soon as we continue development of the app. Thanks, Mark

For accounts that leverage Facebook or Google Oauth, how should a login API call be transacted - or does the API not support this yet?
