If I do the same with CURL I use the below command -


 curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{data:{shortName:"test22"}}' -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/rootgroups/test22
‍‍‍


{
   "data":{
         "authorityType": "GROUP",
         "shortName": "test22",
         "fullName": "GROUP_test22",
         "displayName": "test22",
         "url": "/api/groups/test22"
           ,"zones":
           [
              "APP.DEFAULT",
              "AUTH.ALF"
           ]
}

}

Make sure you are passing the JSON object correctly as shown above.

Oh.
I didn't know that I works that way, I thought I should only POST the request, but you were right. With the json attached to the request it works just as expected.

many thanks.
