Group REST API

Note: These operations are RESTful so that the APIs are easy to understand and access, and not bound to a particular implementation's model. Authentication is at the HTTP layer and not discussed here.

This document assumes JSON, however XML-based documents are easy to envision.

hasMember

Determine if a subject is a member of a group.

Request Format

Response Format

 {"ResponseType":"SubjectIDResponse",
 "Version":"1.0",
 "SubjectType":("Group"|"Person"),
 "Id":"<ID>"}

Note: Because RESTful URLs are "eternal", groupid and memberid must be persistent (ie: pretty much non-changeable), and therefore should probably be implemented as UUIDs. We would therefore need an identifier mapping service.
