Edwin Kempin a3cd22efee Docs: Clarify that for external groups the name in GroupInfo can be missing 
For external groups the group name is missing if there is no group
backend that can resolve the group UUID. E.g. this can happen when a
plugin that provided a group backend was uninstalled (e.g. the
singleusergroup plugin).

= Gerrit Code Review - /groups/ REST API
This page describes the group related REST endpoints.
Please also take note of the general information on the
link:rest-api.html[REST API].
[[group-endpoints]]
== Group Endpoints
[[list-groups]]
=== List Groups
--
'GET /groups/'
--
Lists the groups accessible by the caller. This is the same as
using the link:cmd-ls-groups.html[ls-groups] command over SSH,
and accepts the same options as query parameters.
As result a map is returned that maps the group names to
link:#group-info[GroupInfo] entries. The entries in the map are sorted
by group name.

.Get all groups

[[group-options]]
==== Group Options
Additional fields can be obtained by adding `o` parameters, each option
requires more lookups and slows down the query response time to the
client so they are generally disabled by default. Optional fields are:
[[includes]]
--
* `INCLUDES`: include list of directly included groups.
--
[[members]]
--
* `MEMBERS`: include list of direct group members.
--
==== Check if a group is owned by the calling user
By setting the option `owned` and specifying a group to inspect with
the option `group`/`g`, it is possible to find out if this group is
owned by the calling user.
[NOTE] Earlier the `group`/`g` option was named `query`/`q`. Using
`query`/`q` still works, but this option is deprecated and may be
removed in future. Hence all users should be adapted to use
`group`/`g` instead.
.Request
----
GET /groups/?owned&q=MyProject-Committers HTTP/1.0
----
If the group is owned by the calling user, the returned map contains
this group. If the calling user doesn't own this group an empty map is
returned.

[[group-limit]]
==== Group Limit
The `/groups/` URL also accepts a limit integer in the `n` parameter.
This limits the results to show `n` groups.
Query the first 25 groups in group list.
----
GET /groups/?n=25 HTTP/1.0
----
The `/groups/` URL also accepts a start integer in the `S` parameter.
The results will skip `S` groups from group list.
Query 25 groups starting from index 50.
----
GET /groups/?n=25&S=50 HTTP/1.0
----
[[suggest-group]]
==== Suggest Group
The `suggest` or `s` option indicates a user-entered string that
should be auto-completed to group names.
If this option is set and `n` is not set, then `n` defaults to 10.
When using this option, the `project` or `p` option can be used to
name the current project, to allow context-dependent suggestions.
Not compatible with `visible-to-all`, `owned`, `user`, `match`,
`group`, or `S`.
(Attempts to use one of those options combined with `suggest` will
error out.)

[[query-groups]]
=== Query Groups
--
'GET /groups/?query2=<query>'
--
Queries internal groups visible to the caller. The
link:user-search-groups.html#_search_operators[query string] must be
provided by the `query2` parameter. The `start` and `limit` parameters
can be used to skip/limit results.
As result a list of link:#group-info[GroupInfo] entities is returned.
[NOTE] `query2` is a temporary name and in future this option may be
renamed to `query`. `query2` was chosen to maintain backwards
compatibility with the deprecated `query` parameter on the
link:#list-groups[List Groups] endpoint.

If the number of groups matching the query exceeds either the internal
limit or a supplied `limit` query parameter, the last group object has
a `_more_groups: true` JSON field set.

The `/groups/?query2=<query>` URL also accepts a limit integer in the
`limit` parameter. This limits the results to `limit` groups.
