JNUC2019 Lab Session H Adding to Groups

Adding Those Computers to the Group

• There are a couple of ways to add and remove members from static groups

• The original way is to add them individually by name or id, then save the group back to the JSS

• change_membership is a little different from most methods that change objects. It uses the ability of the API to add and remove members directly via non-standard PUT tags, without locally changing the membership list and then saving the whole group,

my_grp.change_membership add_members: new_comp_ids
# => array of member data

• There's no need to do a my_grp.save when using change_membership - the changes are immediately applied to the JSS

• You can also provide a remove_members: parameter to add and remove at the same time.
