Hi moconnor5 

 

could you share exactly what is the HTTP call you are making (with parameters and headers) to ensure there is nothing out of the ordinary? Or are you getting  the error from a custom component?

 

Thanks,

    moconnor5, PaoloT

    I am facing the same issue.

     

    My API calls -

    http://[community_url]/restapi/vc/groups/id/test-group/add?restapi.session_key=[key]&groups.invitee=users/login/[login]

    http://[community_url]/restapi/vc/groups/id/test-group/remove?restapi.session_key=[key]&groups.invitee=users/login/[login]

     

    Im getting below error -

    <response status="error">
    <error code="501">
    <message> Unknown path element at node 'community.users'. </message>
    </error>
    </response>
     
    Please let me know if anyone has the latest information on these APIs.
    Thanks,
    Vaishnavi

      Sorry guys, I found out that I was missing forward slash(/) at the start of groups.invitee - groups.invitee=users/login/[login] - would not work groups.invitee=/users/login/[login] - this would work
