DocuSign: setting user permissions using REST APIs - rest

Question

For creating a group, a user and assigning the user to that group, I referred this link Add permission profile through API.
Using REST APIs I am able to do that but permission for user is not getting set.
When I check in DocuSign, group is having correct permission set but same is not set for a user. Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Additional Information: This is the request I am sending
{
"newUsers":[{
"email":"'.$email.'",
"userName":"'.$userName.'",
"password":"'.$password.'",
"groupList": [{
"groupId": "'.$groupId.'",
"groupName": "'.$groupName.'",
"permissionProfileId": "'.$permissionId.'"
}]
}]
}
Also, when a user is added to a group, permissions set at group level will be applied to the users. Is there something missing?

Answer 1

When you create a permission profile you use this endpoint:
POST {vx}/accounts/{accountid}/permission_profiles
the response body for that endpoint should contain this info ( I omitted some details from the response)
{
"permissionProfileId": "sample string 1",
"permissionProfileName": "sample string 2",
...
}
Once you have the permissionProfileId and permissionProfileName you should be able to assign that permission profile to a user using this endpoint:
PUT {vx}/accounts/{accountid}/users/{userid}
and using the permissionProfileId and permissionProfileName in your request (I used dummy values here):
{
"permissionProfileId": "12345",
"permissionProfileName": "SomeName"
}
I hope that helps!
