Groups Settings

Groups Settings has 2 operations in gum's generated catalog. Start with search when you know the task, use describe to inspect request fields and scopes, then dispatch through the command that matches the operation risk class.

Start here

gum search "groups settings"
gum describe groupssettings.groups.get
gum read groupssettings.groups.get --args '{"groupUniqueId":"<groupUniqueId>"}' --output json

For write-class operations, gum requires the write command and an explicit write gate:

gum describe groupssettings.groups.update
gum write groupssettings.groups.update --allow-write --args '{"groupUniqueId":"<groupUniqueId>"}'
