REST API - Group versus DL

[sbhanji]

When doing a rest call to retrieve groups, here is a test response I get:

        {

            "@type": "group",

            "@url": "/gwadmin-service/domains/MyDomain/postoffices/MyPO1/groups/TestGroup1",

            "guid": "FF95F780-11AE-0000-816D-796464376638",

            "id": "GROUP.MyDomain.MyPO1.TestGroup1",

            "lastModifiedBy": "admin.GroupWiseSystem",

            "lastModifiedOp": "MODIFY",

            "name": "TestGroup1",

            "timeCreated": 1600790731000,

            "timeLastMod": 1600790757000,

            "domainName": "MyDomain",

            "postOfficeName": "MyPO1",

            "preferredEmailAddress": "TestGroup1@groupwise.domain.com",

            "visibility": "SYSTEM",

            "groupType": "DISTRIBUTION_LIST",

            "replicationOverride": "ACCORDING_TO_VISIBILITY"

        }

Notice the groupType element that states its a DL.

Q: Are Groups and Distribution Lists objects the same (groups)?

I want to make sure that when I retrieve groups via my rest call that I dont have to perform any secondary calls to now request DLs.

Yes they are the same objects. You should get both types back when you get GROUP objects.
