Hi,

A few questions around the API - Request to Create ADGroup. In the customer setup, this API will be called by Service Now to open a request within Saviynt for AD Group creation.

API Reference : Saviynt Security Manager API Reference v2021.0/Summer Release (getpostman.com)

1. There is an attribute named application. What value should go in here ?
2. In the Active Directory connector configurations, is it possible to specify createUpdateMappings attribute in such a way that groups are created within Active Directory within Department specific OUs ?

Best Regards,
Varun

Any chance you could share a working request & response for the AD group management API? Much appreciated.

I followed the documentation, but all of my requests return one or another error (username not found, invalid roletype and invalid requesttype).

Kind regards,

Robin

Service desk solved my question: turns out I was using "api" (wrong) instead of "api/v5" (correct) in the path as per the instructions at

{{path}} - Use api/v5 for SSM 5.2 or newer versions, Use api for older versions of SSM.
