These orderings are available:

Customergroup.list([
  "uid",
  "name",
  "changed",
  "created"
], {

})

# set

Creates or updates a customer group.

# Parameters

Parameter Description
uid The unique identifier of a customer group to update or null to create a new customer group.

Customergroup.set(123123, {
  "name": "Students and teachers"
}, [
  "uid",
  "name",
  "changed",
  "created"
])

# validate

Validates the data to be set. The performed validation is the same as in set; it validates the resulting object and includes all the required properties. However, nothing is saved.

# Parameters

Parameter Description
uid The unique identifier of an existing customer group or null.
patch An object containing the properties and values to set before validating.

# Returns

An array of validation-error objects, each containing the keys pointer (a property referenced using a JSON Pointer) and message (a readable text in the language of the context). If there are no validation errors, then an empty array is returned.
