Update the specified iTwin group. The members and imsGroups properties are both capped at 50 each.

Authentication

Requires Authorization header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform.

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.

A user can update a Group by being assigned the administration_manage_groups on the iTwin level. If the user is adding members or IMS groups they must also have the administration_invite_member permission assigned at the iTwin level. If the user is removing members or IMS groups they must also have the administration_remove_member permission assigned at the iTwin level.

A user also can update a Group on an iTwin by either being an Organization Administrator for the Organization that owns the given iTwin, or an owner of the iTwin.

To update a Group on the Account iTwin, the user must be an Organization Administrator for the Organization.

An Organization Administrator must have at least one of the following roles assigned in User Management: Account Administrator, Co-Administrator, or CONNECT Services Administrator.
