1.0 API endpoint error out while updating user group with large group name.

Summary

Users could face issues with larger group names using the 1.0 API endpoint to add the user into a group.

Endpoint:

• /1.0/groups/{accountname}/{group_slug}/members

Cause

When the group name is larger than 62 characters, the user-group slug will be limited by 62 characters. The group slug can be found by accessing the user-group page on Bitbucket UI.

This error happens because the API endpoint expects the group slug, not the group name.

Error message:

Solution

Provide the group slug on the endpoint URL, not the group name.

The group slug can be found by accessing the user-group page on Bitbucket UI.
