API ReferenceResource Groups

Create a resource group

Create a resource group under a namespace. Admin only.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer

WorkOS API key (Authorization: Bearer sk_…). Scope comes from the key’s permissions: a key carrying passport:admin has admin scope (full catalog CRUD), any other key has member scope (reads + access requests). Organization-owned keys are admin by ownership and carry no associated user; keys minted for a user carry theirs, which is what access requests and createdBy are attributed to.

Path parameters

namespaceIdstringRequiredformat: "uuid"

Headers

Idempotency-KeystringOptional

Optional idempotency key, retained 24h and bound to the request that first used it. Resending the same request replays the stored response (with Idempotent-Replayed: true); reusing the key with a different body or path returns 422; retrying while the original is still in flight returns 409 with Retry-After. A failed request releases its key.
