# Create

Launch stage: Beta

`POST /api/2.0/identity/groups`

Creates a local group in the Databricks account that parents the calling workspace and returns
 the created group. A local group is one that is not synced from the customer's identity
 provider, and can be created whether or not Account Identity Management (AIM) is enabled.

 When AIM is enabled, supplying an external ID returns an error. To provision the identity from
 your identity provider, resolve it by its external ID with ResolveGroup; to read an existing
 external identity, use the ExternalGroup resource.

API scopes: identity
