Create One Project

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Base URL: https://{OPSMANAGER-HOST}:{PORT}/api/public/v1.0

Resource

POST /groups

Request Parameters

Request Path Parameters

This endpoint does not use HTTP request path parameters.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name Type Description Default
pretty boolean Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format. false
envelope boolean

Flag indicating whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

Name Description
status HTTP response code
envelope Expected response body
false

Request Body Parameters

Name Type Description
name string Required. The display name for the project.
orgId string

Unique identifier of the organization within which to create the project. This field is required when using Programmatic API Key credentials.

If you use Ops Manager user authentication and do not specify an orgId, Ops Manager creates an organization using the name value and places the project within that organization. The authenticated user automatically becomes the Organization Owner of the new organization and the Project Owner of the new project.

To create a project within an existing organization, you must have either Organization Project Creator role or Organization Owner role for the organization.

Important

To create a project using Programmatic API Key credentials, you must specify an orgId. When you do, the oldest Owner of the specified organization automatically becomes a Project Owner for the newly created project.

Response

Name Type Description
activeAgentCount integer
