== add_to_group ==
'''HTTP method''': POST
The add_to_group operation adds a new Resident (user) to the specified group. 
NOTE: This operation will work for one hour after a user initially registers.  After that time, the operation will have no effect for that user.
To use this operation, you must:
* Receive the "add_to_group" capability ''before'' the user registers.
* Have a role in the group with the ability to add Residents to the group, shown in the Viewer as ability "Invite People to this Group."  For more information, see [[Group Roles]] Knowledge Base article.
** The group owner always has this ability
** By default, officers have it.
** Other group members may have the ability, if they have a role for which it has been granted. 
* Register the user yourself using your granted capabilities.
=== Parameters ===
POST an LLSD map containing the user's first and last name and the group name and the Reg API returns a Boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful.

    • By default, officers have it.
    • Other group members may have the ability, if they have a role for which it has been granted.

NOTE: You can get the numeric estate ID via the debug menus (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to enable them). Then use Client > View Admin Options. This will allow you to view, but not use, the options that admins (Lindens) can use. Now go to the Server menu, which appeared with the Client one. Select God Tools, look at the Region tab... the Estate ID is listed there. Don't worry about pressing or changing something you shouldn't... as they are just viewable options, any changes you make won't stick.

Return value

If the operation successfully creates a new user, it returns a document like this: 

<llsd> 
  <map> 
      <key>agent_id</key> 
      <string>UNIQUE_ID</string> 
  </map> 
</llsd>

Where UNIQUE_ID is the new user's unique Second Life ID number.

If the operation is not successful, then it returns an array of error codes similar to that returned by get_error_codes.

Example

Posted message: 

<llsd>
  <map>
    <key>dob</key><string>1987-07-06</string>
    <key>start_region_name</key><string>da boom</string>
    <key>username</key><string>mistaht</string>
    <key>last_name_id</key><integer>1872</integer>
    <key>password</key><string>123456</string>
    <key>email</key><string>ben@ben.com</string>
  </map>
</llsd>

The following HTML code illustrates a simple form to get the valid last names: 

<form action="https://cap.secondlife.com/cap/0/UUID" method="GET">
   <input type="submit" value="Get Last Names">
</form>

Example response:
