+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|||
+|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.||

-h2. contents
+See "Common resource methods":{{site.baseurl}}/api/methods.html for more information about @create@, @delete@, @get@, @list@, and @update@.
 
-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).
+Required arguments are displayed in %{background:#ccffcc}green%.

 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@|
+
+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.
 
-If @include_linked@ is @true@, the @"links"@ field in the response will contain the "name" links referencing the objects in the @"items"@ field.
+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.
