## Create

`zones.groups.create(strzone_id, GroupCreateParams**kwargs)  -> Group`

**post** `/zones/{zoneId}/groups`

Creates a group in the zone (managed in Keycard). Groups synced from an external directory are created by that directory, not here.

### Parameters

- `zone_id: str`

- `name: str`

  Human-readable group name

- `identifier: Optional[str]`

  User-specified identifier, unique within the zone. Derived from the name when omitted (a suffix is appended if it collides).

### Returns

- `class Group: …`

  A zone-scoped group of users, assignable to roles and usable in policies. Roles assigned to a group are inherited by its members. `external` is false for groups managed in Keycard and true for groups synced from an external directory.

  - `id: str`

    Unique identifier of the group

  - `created_at: datetime`

    Entity creation timestamp

  - `external: bool`

    Whether the group is synced from an external directory. When true the group is directory-owned and its membership is read-only; when false it is managed in Keycard. Read-only: set by external sync, never by the caller.

  - `identifier: str`

    User-specified identifier, unique within the zone. Automatically assigned for groups from an external directory.

  - `name: str`

    Human-readable group name

  - `organization_id: str`

    Organization this group belongs to

  - `updated_at: datetime`

    Entity update timestamp

  - `zone_id: str`

    Zone this group belongs to

  - `member_count: Optional[int]`

    Number of users in the group. Included only when requested via `expand[]=member_count` (group get or list).

  - `roles: Optional[List[str]]`

    Identifiers of the roles assigned to the group; members inherit them. Deduped across scopes. Included only when requested via `expand[]=roles` (group get or list).

### Example

```python
import os
from keycardai_api import KeycardAPI

client = KeycardAPI(
    api_key=os.environ.get("KEYCARD_API_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
group = client.zones.groups.create(
    zone_id="zoneId",
    name="x",
)
print(group.id)
```
