You can either add an existing group to the users or create a custom group to manage users just for that space. You can create the group when you create the space.

If you want to see code samples, check out the Alfresco source code and see how the Invite User Wizard and Create Space wizard code.

Should be something like this


var groupNode = people.getGroup("GROUP_" + name_of_the_group_the_user_must_belong_to);
if (groupNode == null) {
  groupNode = people.createGroup(name_of_the_group_the_user_must_belong_to);
  groupNode.save();
}

// 'person' is injected in the script by Alfresco.
people.addAuthority(groupNode, person);

var folderNode = companyhome.childByNamePath(path_to_user_folder);
folderNode.setPermission("Contributor", groupNode);

Hi

Is there any rest api for creating users/groups/roles. In our project we need to create Users in Alfresco using Rest APIs.
Please let us know if anyone has worked on it.

Any pointers will be helpful.
