Response Field Descriptions

Field	Type	Description
data	Object	Empty object on success.
error	Boolean	`false` when the operation succeeds.
message	String	Descriptive message for the API outcome (e.g. `"Success"`).

Business Rules

The community identified by spaceId must be a ** space** with a parent community.

Each user in userId must already be an Accepted member of the parent community with a role assigned.

Users who are already Accepted members of the target space are rejected.

Users are added to the group with the same role they have on the parent community.

When multiple user IDs are provided, they are processed sequentially; the first failure stops the request (no partial success).

Common Error Responses

512	User ID is required	Missing or invalid `userId` in body.

525	No data found	Group has no parent community, or user is not an accepted parent member with a role.
555	The provided X-API-KEY is invalid or has expired.	Invalid or inactive `x-api-key`.
429	Too many requests	Rate limit exceeded (100 requests/minute per client).

Notes

This API must be used with a valid x-api-key.

spaceId is required in the header and identifies the target Space; userId is required in the body and identifies the user(s) to add.

Rate limiting applies to all requests authenticated with x-api-key.

If x-api-key is omitted, the endpoint will fail.
