      Problem

      Some of the CROWD REST apis specified from the official document do not have explanation on how to use them. 

      For example, from the official document : https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-crowd/4.4.1/REST/#admin/1.0/group-level-admin-addGroupAdministrators

      Also the POST data shared in the document are schema details and are not the payload details that are required to be passed in the API. 

      Suggested Solution

      Would like to request more information on these documents and provide an example for each call so that users can understand the usage better.

      Why This Is Important

      Since users are unable to use the REST api features correctly due to lack of information.

      Workaround

      This operation can be performed manually through the UI.

            Adding to the confusion: One would expect that a group admin would be able to use the REST api to add/remove people from the group. Apparently that's not the case? You have to be a full system admin in crowd in order to exercise the relevant REST api endpoints? @Atlassian - If you're not going to fix this, please at least document the half-baked functions you've already delivered.
