Check a user is a member of a group
A user can be checked to see if it is a member of a specific group, or groups, using the following HEAD request. A 204 HTTP status response confirms membership, whereas a 404 HTTP status marks no membership.
Multiple groups can be specified using a CSV of GroupIdentifiers.
If an invalid value for userIdentifier or any groupIdentifier is passed then a 400 HTTP status response will be returned.
