Groups

Create, update, delete, and query the available Groups in Box.

Table Specific Information

You can retrieve all the Groups or filter them by Id.

SELECT * FROM Groups

If you're authenticated as an administrator with user impersonation permissions, you can query groups from multiple user accounts:

SELECT * FROM Groups WHERE AsUserId IN (SELECT Id FROM Users)

Note: User impersonation has the following limitations:

The authenticated user cannot be impersonated unless that user is a service account.
If the authenticated user is a standard user account, they can only query groups associated with their account.
Groups shared with multiple users are only returned for one of the users.

Only the Name column is required to create a Group.

INSERT INTO Groups (Name, Provenance, MemberViewabilityLevel) VALUES ('new group', 'google', 'admins_only')

Any column where ReadOnly=False can be updated.

UPDATE Groups SET InvitabilityLevel = 'admins_and_members' WHERE Id = '111'

Groups can be deleted by providing an Id and issuing a DELETE statement.

DELETE FROM Groups WHERE Id = '111'
