+
+h2. Resource
+
+Groups provides a way to apply the same permissions to a set of Arvados objects. See "permission model":{{site.baseurl}}/api/permission-model.html for details.
+Each Group has, in addition to the "Common resource fields":{{site.baseurl}}/api/resources.html:
+
+table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
+|_. Attribute|_. Type|_. Description|_. Example|
+|name|string|||
+|group_class|string|Type of group. This does not affect behavior, but determines how the group is presented in the user interface. For example, @project@ indicates that the group should be displayed by Workbench and arv-mount as a project for organizing and naming objects.|@"project"@
+null|
+|description|text|||
+|properties|hash|User-defined metadata, may be used in queries using "subproperty filters":{{site.baseurl}}/api/methods.html#subpropertyfilters ||
+|writable_by|array|List of UUID strings identifying Users and other Groups that have write permission for this Group. Only users who are allowed to administer the Group will receive a full list. Other users will receive a partial list that includes the Group's owner_uuid and (if applicable) their own user UUID.||
+|trash_at|datetime|If @trash_at@ is non-null and in the past, this group and all objects directly or indirectly owned by the group will be hidden from API calls. May be untrashed.||
+|delete_at|datetime|If @delete_at@ is non-null and in the past, the group and all objects directly or indirectly owned by the group may be permanently deleted.||
+|is_trashed|datetime|True if @trash_at@ is in the past, false if not.||
+
+h2. Methods
+
+See "Common resource methods":{{site.baseurl}}/api/methods.html for more information about @create@, @delete@, @get@, @list@, and @update@.
+
+Required arguments are displayed in %{background:#ccffcc}green%.
-h2. contents
+h3. contents
-Retrieve a list of items which are associated with the given group by ownership (i.e., the group owns the item) or a "name" link (i.e., a "name" link referencing the item).
+Retrieve a list of items owned by the group.
Arguments:
table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
|_. Argument |_. Type |_. Description |_. Location |_. Example |
{background:#ccffcc}.|uuid|string|The UUID of the group in question.|path||
-|include_linked|boolean|If false, results will only include items whose @owner_uuid@ attribute is the specified group. If true, results will additionally include items for which a "name" link exists.|path|{white-space:nowrap}. @false@ (default)
-@true@|
+|limit|integer (default 100)|Maximum number of items to return.|query||
+|order|string|Order in which to return matching items. Sort within a resource type by prefixing the attribute with the resource name and a dot.|query|@"collections.modified_at desc"@|
+|filters|array|Conditions for filtering items.|query|@[["uuid", "is_a", "arvados#job"]]@|
+|recursive|boolean (default false)|Include items owned by subprojects.|query|@true@|
-If @include_linked@ is @true@, the @"links"@ field in the response will contain the "name" links referencing the objects in the @"items"@ field.
+Note: Because adding access tokens to manifests can be computationally expensive, the @manifest_text@ field is not included in listed collections. If you need it, request a "list of collections":{{site.baseurl}}/api/methods/collections.html with the filter @["owner_uuid", "=", GROUP_UUID]@, and @"manifest_text"@ listed in the select parameter.
-h2. create
+Note: Use filters with the attribute format @<item type>.<field name>@ to filter items of a specific type. For example: @["pipeline_instances.state", "=", "Complete"]@ to filter @pipeline_instances@ where @state@ is @Complete@. All other types of items owned by this group will be unimpacted by this filter and will still be included.
+
+h3. create
Create a new Group.
|_. Argument |_. Type |_. Description |_. Location |_. Example |
|group|object||query||
-h2. delete
+h3. delete
-Delete an existing Group.
+Put a Group in the trash. This sets the @trash_at@ field to @now@ and @delete_at@ field to @now@ + token TTL. A trashed group is invisible to most API calls unless the @include_trash@ parameter is true. All objects directly or indirectly owned by the Group are considered trashed as well.
