Check a user is a member of a group
Created by c.neale, last modified by r.saunders on 12 Feb 2021
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.
HEAD/api/security/users/{userIdentifier}/groups/{groupIdentifier}[ ,...n ]
