how to realize this sentence: "please use RESTful API to assign storage to the groups of the user"?

I'm not familiar with k8s. In the Admin Mannual, there is a sentence with words "please use RESTful API to assign storage to the groups of the user" in "Assign Storage to PAI Groups" part, I don't know how to handle it. Could you give me some examples?

Do you know about HTTP request? It means you send several requests to PAI's rest server. The rest-server url is http(s)://<pai-master-ip>/rest-server

Thank you very much for your answer. I'm not good at http request, but I used Postman to send GET request with token, I got the result as flow:
{
"groupname": "default",
"description": "group for default vc",
"externalName": "",
"extension": {
"acls": {
"admin": false,
"virtualClusters": ["default"]
}
}
}
no "storageConfigs": [], line exist. Could you tell me what the problem with it?

No problem, just add it by your self.

Could you tell me how to add storage? I used Postman to send post request as follow, but got error message. Please check the picture as follow for detail.

if you cannot open image above. Please refer to the information below.

post Params:
key: storageConfigs
value: nfs-storage
post was sent like this: http://node11/rest-server/api/v2/groups/default/?storageConfigs=nfs-storage
result body:
{
"code": "NoApiError",
"message": "API /api/v2/groups/default/?storageConfigs=nfs-storage is not found."
}

Add it to your request body, like:

{
  "data": {
    "groupname": "default",
    "extension": {
      "acls": {
        "storageConfigs": ["nfs-storage"],
        "admin": false,
        "virtualClusters": ["default"]
      }
    }
  },
  "patch": true
}

        "admin": false,

    }
  },

Thank you very much for your advice. please help me to check the POST setting. it still has some problem result.

Use PUT, not post, and the URL should be http://node1/rest-server/api/v2/groups. You can see the api here: https://redocly.github.io/redoc/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/pai/master/src/rest-server/docs/swagger.yaml#operation/updateGroup

Aha, thank you a lot, I made a mistake, I saw the 'PUT' as 'POST'. That's very kind of you to remind me. Thank you again. It works.

Thanks for the information. I think this function should have a UI to make it more easy-to-use.
