Admin Cli - what is "-n" stands for?

1

Hi
we got some legacy scripts that are using the admin CLI that are responsible to the initial user creation when creating a new KC container

we are adding a user to a group like this:
kcadm.sh update users/$USER_ID/groups/$GRP_ID -r nanolock -s realm=nanolocksec -s userId=$USER_ID -s groupId=GRP_ID -n

I got some questions:

  1. what is the “-n” parameter doing ? - in the documentation is says: “The last parameter (-n ) forces a so called ‘no-merge’ update which performs a PUT only, without first doing a GET to retrieve the current state of the resource. In this case, it is necessary since reset-password endpoint doesn’t support GET.”

  2. if I want to add a user to 2 groups and I want it to be in 2 single commands - do i need the “-n” parameter or not?

for example:
kcadm.sh update users/$USER_ID/groups/$GRP_ID -r nanolock -s realm=nanolocksec -s userId=$USER_ID -s groupId=GRP_ID -n
kcadm.sh update users/$USER_ID/groups/$GRP2_ID -r nanolock -s realm=nanolocksec -s userId=$USER_ID -s groupId=GRP2_ID -n

  1. should we specify the “userId” and “groupId” parameters? I think it’s redundant since those values are part of the endpoint (i.e. URL)

thanks for any help
