REST Connector: Sample Add Access & Remove Access Json With Full Entitlement List Needed

[Sivagami]

We have a REST Application that doesn't have calls for adding/removing a single entitlement. I always have to update the account with the complete list of needed entitlements.

Example 1:

User has entitlements A and B. Additionally he should receive C. I have to send user update call with:

{
  "id": "userid",
  "groups": [
    {
      "value": "A"
    },
    {
      "value": "B"
    },
    {
      "value": "C"
    }
  ]
}

Example 2:

User has entitlements A, B and C. B should be removed. I have to send user update call with:

{
  "id": "userid",
  "groups": [
    {
      "value": "A"
    },
    {
      "value": "C"
    }
  ]
}

If anyone has already done this, could you share the Add Access & Remove Access json sample?

Appreciate the support.

You can use 2 calls in this case first retrieve current groups assigned to user & then in second api call i.e. add/ remove use previous response & add/remove new group in array

Thanks Rushikesh for the response. I tried it already, but kept receiving json parse error for call 2. Hence, looking for a sample with json content type. I see sample in coupa connector documentation but that's XML content type.

Here is the sample json I'm using, Call 1 is executing successfully but call 2 is throwing json parse error. 

{
  "call": [
    {
      "name": "Groups",
      "connection": "acctAuth",
      "url": "https://myapp.mydomain.com/rest/Users/${account.accountID}",
      "httpMethod": "GET",
      "httpHeaders": {
        "Accept": "application/scim+json",
        "Authorization": "${access_token}"
      },
      "httpContentType": "application/scim+json",
      "successResponses": {
        "statusCode": [
          200
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "Groups",
      "connection": "acctAuth",
      "url": "https://myapp.mydomain.com/rest/Users/${account.accountID}",
      "httpMethod": "PUT",
      "httpParams": "{\"id\": \"${account.accountID}\",\"groups\":  ${String groupsStr = '';int size = response.Groups1.message.groups?.size(); if(size == 0) {'[{}]'} else { response.Groups1.message.groups.replace(']','').concat(',{\"value\":\"${entitlementValue.entitlement_value}\"}]')}}}",
      "httpHeaders": {
        "Accept": "application/scim+json",
        "Authorization": "${access_token}"
      },
      "httpContentType": "application/scim+json",
      "successResponses": {
        "statusCode": [
          200
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

How to avoid this parse error?
