Group Operation | Description | Remarks |
Create group | This operation creates a new group. You can specify the group type, name, and a list of users to add to the group. After the group is created, the group ID is returned, which is the unique identifier of the group and can be used to perform other group operations such as message sending and receiving. | The daily limit of net group consumption is 10,000 per app. |
Transfer group | This operation transfers a group and changes the group owner to another user. | The app admin can transfer a group through the RESTful API. The only other role that can transfer a group is the group owner. |
Disband a group | This operation disbands a group that has been created on the app. When the group is disbanded, all group members receive a system message stating that the group has been disbanded. | The app admin can call the RESTful API to disband any group. The permission to disband a group on an app varies depending on the member role: For a public group (Public), meeting group (Meeting), AVChatRoom (AVChatRoom), or community group (Community), only the group owner can disband the group. For a work group (Work), no one in the group can disband the group. |
