CKANInstall

Summary

Create a CKAN group by sending its required URL-safe name and any supplied group details to the CKAN API. The operation requires CKAN API credentials and returns the created group data for each input item.

Inputs

• CKAN URL (required) — Base URL of the CKAN instance.
• Name (required) — Group slug: 2–100 lowercase letters or digits, hyphens, or underscores.
• Id — Optional group ID.
• Title — Human-readable group title.
• Description — Group description.
• Image Url — URL of the image displayed on the group page.
• Type — Group type; defaults to "group" and cannot be "organization".
• State — Group state, such as "active" or "deleted"; defaults to "active" and is ignored if the caller cannot change it.
• Approval Status — Optional approval status.
• Extras — JSON array of metadata objects with "key" and "value", and optionally "deleted".
• Packages — JSON array of datasets to associate, each with a "name" (ID or slug) and optionally a "title".
• Groups — JSON array of sub-groups to associate, each with a "name" and optionally a "capacity".
• Users — JSON array of users to associate, each with a "name" and optionally a "capacity".

Output shape

One item per input item, containing the created group data in json.data.

Successful items have json.success: true. If Continue On Fail is enabled, failed items instead contain json.error; otherwise an error stops execution. A CKAN API token credential is required, and the caller must be authorized to create groups.
