# Create

Launch stage: Beta

`POST /api/2.0/identity/accounts/{account_id}/groups`

Creates a local group in the <Databricks> account 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.
