- The Users and Groups WebAPI has been redesigned and is not backward compatible. Existing integrations must be migrated to the new request and response models. The users and groups base paths remain
/usersandgroups/usersand/usersandgroups/groups. - User and group data that depends on installed field definitions is now exposed through the
fieldsobject. Update integrations to read and write these values by field key. Memberships are managed separately through the group-members endpoint. - Updating an existing user or group uses partial-update semantics for both PUT and PATCH: properties omitted from the request remain unchanged. Do not rely on PUT replacing the complete resource.
- For details about the new API, see the WebAPI's
swagger.json. The new endpoint/usersandgroups/user-fieldsis available when the WebAPI Core and Field Settings plugins are installed and requires the configuration permission. The remaining Users and Groups endpoints require the Users and Groups Manager permission.

Users and GroupsActive
The following information is derived from the plugin description.
The Users and Groups application is vital for the configuration of permissions and personal settings of users.
Here, groups of users can be set up and provided with permissions to functionalities of the application. Administrative users can easily get an insight of users data and allowances, their logins providers and effictive permissions. In addition users can be created, removed, locked or deactivated.
The Users and Groups application also provides the means for a user to inspect and modify their own, personal settings - such as first name, last name, email address, login information and so on. Every user can check out the data that is stored about them.
