+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.||

 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.

All other types of items owned by this group will be unimpacted by this filter and will still be included.
