Introduction
Welcome to the Cumul.io API! You can use our API to integrate dashboards within your own applications, create or update datasets, open up new data sources or automate just about anything about your Cumul.io experience.
We offer 3 main APIs that are documented in detail:
- Core API: build datasets & dashboards, manage users & groups, send event data to Cumul.io
- Integration API: bindings to seamlessly integrate dashboards within your own applications
- Plugin API: connect your own data stores or APIs with a flexible data adapter
You can start reading our guides that cover common use cases or dive right into the API specifications for further detail.
All APIs use REST with default HTTP verbs. Content is sent as JSON.
In case of questions, you can reach our team at api@cumul.io or support@cumul.io.
Good luck, and have fun!

Dashboard Integration
Quickstart
Integrating a dashboard in your own application/platform is a simple two-step process, with a server-side and a client-side action.
Generate an authorization token (server-side)
Embed the dashboard in your own application/platform (client-side)
Step 1. Generate an authorization token
Replace with your API key & token, an expiry moment of choice, the id of the dashboard & the id's of the datasets used in the dashboard
curl https://api.cumul.io/0.1.0/authorization \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- << EOF
{
"action":"create",
"version":"0.1.0",
"key": "< your API key >",
"token": "< your API token >",
"properties":{
"type": "temporary",
"securables": [
"< dashboard id >",
"< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >",
"< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >"
],
"expiry": "24 hours",
"inactivity_interval": "10 minutes"
}
}
EOF
Replace with your API key & token, an expiry moment of choice, the id of the dashboard & the id's of the datasets used in the dashboard
const Cumulio = require('cumulio');
var client = new Cumulio({
api_key: '< Your API key >',
api_token: '< Your API token >'
});
let promise = client.create('authorization', {
type: 'temporary',
securables: [
'< dashboard id >',
'< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >',
'< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >'
],
expiry: '24 hours',
inactivity_interval: '10 minutes'
});
promise.then(function(result){
// return the result to the client
})
Replace with your API key & token, an expiry moment of choice, the id of the dashboard & the id's of the datasets used in the dashboard
<?php
include('cumulio.php');
$client = Cumulio::initialize('< your API key >', '< your API token >');
$authorization = $client->create('authorization', array(
'type' => 'temporary',
'expiry' => '24 hours',
'inactivity_interval' => '10 minutes',
'securables' => array(
'< dashboard id >',
'< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >',
'< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >'
)
));
?>
Replace with your API key & token, an expiry moment of choice, the id of the dashboard & the id's of the datasets used in the dashboard
import org.json.JSONObject;
import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList;
import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap;
private Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >","< Your API token >");
private JSONObject authorization = client.create("authorization", ImmutableMap.builder()
.put("type","temporary")
.put("expiry", "24 hours")
.put("inactivity_interval", "10 minutes")
.put("securables", ImmutableList.of(
"< dashboard id >",
"< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >",
"< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >"
))
.build()
);
Replace with your API key & token, an expiry moment of choice, the id of the dashboard & the id's of the datasets used in the dashboard
Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >", "< Your API token >");
dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.type = "temporary";
properties.expiry = "24 hours";
properties.inactivity_interval = "10 minutes";
properties.securables = new List<String> {
"< dashboard id >",
"< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >",
"< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >"
};
dynamic authorization = client.create("authorization", properties);
Console.WriteLine("Success!", authorization);
This returns a JSON object with an id/token combination that we will use to integrate:
{
"type": "temporary",
"id": "< the authorization key >",
"token": "< the authorization token >"
// ...
}
In this step, your server-side code makes an API request to retrieve an authorization token. The result of this request is a key/token combination that will be used to in step 2 to securely embed the dashboard in your application/platform.
The API request, is a 'create' request for an authorization. In this example we set an expiry date and define the securables (the dashboard and the datasets used in the dashboard) that we grant access to.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
type string |
temporary Use the value 'temporary' for integrating a dashboard. |
|
securables array |
List of id's of securables to which you want to grant access to. It is advised to add this to your request and to limit it to the id of the dashboard you want to integrate and the id's of the dataset(s) used in the dashboard. |
|
expiry date (ISO 8601) |
Date/time when this authorization will cease working. Defaults to no expiry. It is advised to only use short-living tokens (max. 24 hours) for maximum security. |
You can also set an initialization filter that you want to apply to a certain filter object and/or add viewer metadata information. For a list of all properties that you can use in the request, check Authorization in the Core API.
The request returns a JSON object that contains an authorization id & token. This is the key/token combination that will be used in our next step (client-side) to integrate the dashboard in a secure way.
Step 2. Embed the dashboard in your application/platform
Add a container element to your page with DOM ID of my-dashboard.
<div id="my-dashboard"></div>
Add a script to your page to load the dashboard in that container, use the key & token from the previous step.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(d, a, s, h, b, oa, rd) {
if (!d[b]) {oa = a.createElement(s), oa.async = 1;
oa.src = h; rd = a.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
rd.parentNode.insertBefore(oa, rd);} d[b]=d[b]||{};
d[b].addDashboard=d[b].addDashboard||function(v) {
(d[b].list = d[b].list || []).push(v) };
})(window, document, 'script',
'https://cdn-a.cumul.io/js/cumulio.min.js', 'Cumulio');
Cumulio.addDashboard({
dashboardId: '< Dashboard id you want to embed >',
container: '#my-dashboard',
key: '< authorization key from step 1 >',
token: '< authorization token from step 1 >'
});
</script>
To integrate a dashboard in your webpage, we use the Integration API.
First, add a DOM element to your body that will act as the dashboard container. Give it an id or a class name so that you will be able to reference it later on.
Once you have the container element in your page, load the dashboard in that container using the javascript snippet. The script will check whether the Integration API is loaded in your webpage. If not, it will be retrieved from our servers.
To add a dashboard to the container in your page the addDashboard function is used. This function uses the generated key/token combination from step 1, together with the id of the dashboard and the selector for the dashboard container to load the dashboard.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
dashboardId uuid |
This is the id of the dashboard that you want to embed. |
|
container string |
The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded. |
|
key uuid |
The authorization id from step 1. |
|
token string |
The authorization token from step 1. |
You can (optionally) add extra parameters to choose which screenmode or language will be loaded and/or to style the container when loading the dashboard. This to ensure a perfect fit with the style of your page. For all parameters check the addDashboard function in the Integration API.
That's it! With these steps, you securely integrate a dashboard in your application/platform!
Next steps
- Add Parameters
- Add account_overrides
- Add viewer metadata
- Set an initialization filter
- Set language
- Set screenmode
- Chart integration

- Retrieving a dashboard id
- Retrieving a dataset id
- Retrieving a column id
- Retrieving a chart id
- Retrieving an account id
- Remove/replace a dashboard
- Invalidating tokens
Add Parameters
You can add Parameters to your authorization requests to filter the data in your embedded dashboards.
First you need to create and define the Parameter, after which you can set the Parameter to a value of your choice when creating the authorization request.
Create and define the Parameter
First create the Parameter via the Parameter overview. Input the name, data type and default value for the Parameter.
Once you created the Parameter, use it as a global or chart filter. A global filter is a filter that has effect on every chart in the dashboard, a chart filter is a filter that has effect on only one chart in the dashboard.
Set the Parameter

Your data may be split over databases per client. In such case, you can create multitenant dashboard in Cumul.io using the account_overrides functionality. An account in Cumul.io contains the information that is necessary to access a certain plugin or database. The account_overrides functionality allows you to dynamically override one or multiple of these properties.
You can override the account properties when creating your authorization requests to switch between databases. You could also use this approach to change the user/password in a single database in case your database provides row-level security. Row-level security in this context means that the database can automatically filter out rows based on the credentials.
You can use the account_overrides if you are using one of the standard Cumul.io connectors (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ...) as well as if you are using a Plugin to connect your data.
You can find your account_id by going to Profile > Connected Accounts and looking for your account. Alternatively you can perform an API call to get your account_ids.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
type string |
temporary Use the value 'temporary' for integrating a dashboard. |
|
securables array[uuid] |
List of id's of securables to which you want to grant access to. It is advised to add this to your request and to limit it to the id of the dashboard you want to integrate and the id's of the dataset(s) used in the dashboard. |

|
account_overrides object |
Let this token override the connection to one or more data connections (to a Plugin or database). You can use this to dynamically route requests to different endpoints (eg. the correct endpoint per client in a single-tenant setup). All overrides are optional -- if not specified, the value as configured on the original Account will be used instead. |

dataset_id string |
The dataset (securable) ID that you want to override. |
|
table string |
The new table to retrieve data from. |
|
schema string |
The new schema to retrieve data from. |
|
sql string |
The new SQL query to run. NOTE: the columns returned in the new query need to conform to the same schema as the original dataset. |
|
account_id object |
The Plugin account id for which you want to override properties as property name. |
|
base_url string |
The new base URL that will be called. |
|
host string |
The new host value that will be sent as X-Host header to the Plugin. |
|
key string |
The new key value that will be sent as X-Key header to the Plugin. |
|
token string |
The new token value that will be sent as X-Token header to the Plugin. |
|
table string |
The new canonical dataset identifier defined in the Plugin to retrieve data from. |

An initialization filter is a type of filter that initializes a filter on a certain filter object (slider, search and select box, ...) in an embedded dashboard. This means that the specified filter will be applied when the dashboard loads, but it can still be turned off or modified afterwards.
To do this, extend the code snippet used in step 1 by adding a filters parameter to the request.
For an initialization filter on a filter object, it is not needed to specify the securable_id or column_id in the filters parameter. This is because a filter object can have multiple columns, coming from different datasets.
You can also set initialization filters on chart objects. This pre-selects a portion of the chart when the dashboard opens. The structure in this case is slightly different: you need a column_id and a securable_id. You also need to make sure that the values you are passing are contained in an array.

When you have built a multi-lingual dashboard, you can specify what language to use when integrating a dashboard in your web page.
This can be set in the addDashboard function by adding the language parameter to the function.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
dashboardId uuid |
This is the id of the dashboard that you want to embed. |
|
container string |
The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded. |
|
key uuid |
The authorization id from step 1. |
|

container: '#my-dashboard',
key: '< authorization key >',
token: '< authorization token >'
screenmode: '< fixed/mobile/tablet/desktop/largeScreen/auto >'
});
</script>
Dashboards can have multiple screenmodes and can be made responsive. This means that for a dashboard you can specify different layouts (even different charts) depending on the dashboard container size. By default, the Integration API detects the right screenmode based on the width of the container, and auto-switches to the right screenmode if it exists.
But if you specifically want to use only one screenmode, you can specify that screenmode in the addDashboard function by adding the screenmode parameter to the function.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
dashboardId uuid |
This is the id of the dashboard that you want to embed. |
|
container string |
The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded. |
|
key uuid |
The authorization id. See step 1. |
|
token string |
The authorization token. See step 1. |
|
screenmode string |
fixed, mobile, tablet, desktop, largeScreen or auto. The default is 'auto'. If the screenmode is set (fixed, mobile, tablet, desktop or largeScreen) and available, that screenmode will be used. This also means that the dashboard will not auto-resize or switch to other screenmodes if the size of the container changes.
|
For all possible parameters, check the addDashboard function in the Integration API.

</script>
It is possible to embed only a certain chart, instead of embedding the entire dashboard. To do so, you have to specify the id of the chart in the addDashboard function. Simply add the chartId parameter to the function.
By default, the chart will fill the available width of the container, and the height will be sized according to the height of the chart in your dashboard.
You can specify a fixed width and height for your chart by adding the optional chartDimensions parameter to the addDashboard function. Please refer to the table below for a more detailled explanation about setting the dimensions of a chart.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
dashboardId uuid |
This is the id of the dashboard that containts the chart you want to embed. |
|
container string |
The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded. |
|
key uuid |
The authorization id. See step 1. |
|
token string |
The authorization token. See step 1. |
|
chartId uuid |
This is the id of the chart that you want to embed. |
|
chartDimensions object |
(optional) The desired dimensions of the single chart that you want to embed. By default it uses the dimensions of the chart in the dashboard. For this parameter it is required to specify a chartId. |
|
width string |
The width in pixels, e.g. 600px or auto. When auto is used, the chart will take up the available width or the container and resize when the container resizes.
|
|
height string |
The height in pixels, e.g. 400px. When auto is used, the chart height will be sized according to the current screenmode of the dashboard, which is determined by the current width of the container.
|
For all possible parameters, check the addDashboard function in the Integration API.

It is possible in Cumul.io to create a dataset programmatically by just sending a sample the 'data' endpoint.
In order to create it, the sample will be analyzed to determine the types of the different columns. To give names to your dataset and columns there is a header and a name option provided. The code sample on the right will create a new dataset and create 4 columns. To make sure that the types are detected correctly it is advised to send a good sample for the initial creation where each column has at least a few values.
Behind the scenes, this call is creating a securable and columns. In case you want full control on the creation of securables and columns you can also create them manually by following the Creating datasets manually guide.

You can create datasets and their metadata programmatically via the API. In this case, we first build a new Securable (this is a dataset or dashboard).
The name and description are localized strings: use them to provide translations of dataset or dashboard titles, columns and other metadata. You can retrieve the most recent set languages from the locale entity.
For an explanation of the dataset entity and its possible parameters, please refer to the full specification.

Regardless of how you created the dataset and columns (manually or automatically) you can append or replace the data by providing the securable_id and setting the type to 'append' or 'replace' as shown in the second and third example on the right.
As long as the update_metadata boolean is disabled, this will never change anything to your columns. Setting the type to replace will replace the data in the dataset.
Every row in your data parameter should have exactly the same amount of entries as there are columns in your dataset.
For more information on how to find the id of a dataset, please refer to this section.
When pushing data, the dashboards that are viewing this data will be automatically brought up to date.
In case you want to automatically add/remove/update columns (use this with care), you can set the 'update_metadata' boolean to true. For example, in the third example on the right, two columns are removed and a new column is added.

A more elaborate example: let’s record the weight per burrito as another numeric measure.
We want the weights to be classified in 10 equal sized bins, for example [50, 100[ grams, [100, 150[ grams. These bins will be made by equally dividing the range between the minimum and maximum values in the column specified.
Now we want to retrieve the top 5 weight classes by number of burritos savoured, but only for burritos that are of the type ‘spicy’.

When you push data points into a dataset that is stored in Cumul.io, all dashboards are brought up-to-date immediately. To also have real-time updates to dashboards that use data providers like relational databases, you can notify Cumul.io when data changes via the Update action on the Data entity.
For example, you can do this call from within your RDBMS with a trigger on update, eg. via curl.
Core API
Introduction
This document describes the Core API which is also used by the Cumul.io application. As a client, you have access to the same API that we used to build Cumul.io. That means that you can automate everything:
- Access rights management to dashboards/datasets for users/groups/organizations.
- Loading and synchronization of datasets and setting up database connections.
- Create hierarchies or add translations for existing datasets.
- Set up automatic reporting schedules.
- Script dashboards, or use the query API to drive a custom dashboard component.
Connect
The API is available via WebSocket or via REST. We provide several client libraries for different languages.
Token
In order to connect you will need to retrieve your API key and API token and connect your client. You can get these here. There are multiple types of tokens: for more information on the types of tokens or how to get a token programmatically, refer to the Authorization Resource.
SDKs
Connect to the REST API
var Cumulio = require('cumulio');
var client = new Cumulio({
api_key: '< your API key >',
api_token: '< your API token >'
});
Connect to the REST API
include("cumulio.php");
Cumulio client = new Cumulio(
"< your API key >",
"< your API token >"
);
Connect to the REST API
<?php
include('cumulio.php');
$client = Cumulio::initialize(
'< your API key >',
'< your API token >'
);
?>
Connect to the REST API
export $CUMULIO_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export $CUMULIO_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"
curl https://api.cumul.io/0.1.0/<entity> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- << EOF
{
"action": "<your-action>",
"key": "$CUMULIO_API_KEY",
"token": "$CUMULIO_API_TOKEN",
"version": "0.1.0",
...
}
EOF
Connect to the REST API
Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >","< Your API token >");
The libraries below are built around the REST API. The code and installation instructions for each language can be found on Github:
NodeJS
Php
Java
Python
These libraries require a connection step where you provide the api key and token to get started. Sometimes the token has to be one for a specific user. For example binding a locale to a User requires you to be owner of that user. You can take ownership by using the login/api token of that specific user.
You can also access our API without a library using pure rest calls in which case you have to pass the api key and token on each call. For pure REST examples you can refer to the curl examples.
Schema
Below you can see the resources that can be accessed/created/updated/deleted via the API and how they are connected to each other:
The graph shows which resources can be associated/dissociated. When resources are associated, you can include the associated resource in a get or query request.
Actions
The core API defines actions that can be called on the resources. The api call of a specific action is standardized which means that you access each resource in a similar way. In total, 6 types of actions are defined:
Not every action is supported on every resource (e.g. you can not delete a Dataprovider). The rest of this documentation will provide information on the call signature for each action and will then go into details with concrete examples for each combination of resource and action.

Get and List are the same call. The reason why we differentiate between a Get and a List action is that different security rules apply. A user who can get a resource can't necessarily list the same resource. Get and List have a different structure than the other calls since it allows for complex queries. A call is considered to be a get action if you fetch an entity using a specific id in the where clause, else it is considered to be a list action. The query syntax is very close to SQL, it consists of the following attributes:
Parameter
Description
resource:
string
The lowercase name of the resource we want to get or list
query:
object
A query object consisting of SQL-like keywords such as: where, include, attributes, order
attributes:
string[]
instead of returning all attributes, limit the set of attributes to the given list
where:
object[]
Filter the selection, each where statement has to match
include:
object[]
embed a connected object in the results, within an include you can again use where, include, attributes
order:
array[]
Order on attributes. Either provide only an attribute and 'desc' or 'asc' to filter on a top-level attribute.
or provide models in the beginning of the array if you want to target the attribute of an embedded resource.

Resources
Authorization
Authorizations are tokens that grant access to the Cumul.io platform. Tokens can be created in a cascaded way but are always ultimately tied to a single User. Authorizations are subservient to groups and users. If a user for which you make a token has no access to a certain dashboard or dataset then an authorization token made by this user will also not have access to these resources, regardless of the filters. Of course it is possible to combine the mechanisms of groups, users and authorizations. Just like groups and users, authorizations have very powerful filters that allow filtering on the granularity of datasets/dashboards as well as at the row level of datasets.
Properties
Parameter
Description
id
uuid
Unique key of the authorization (automatically assigned)
type
string
Authorization type. Either
login, api or temporary. You can only create temporary authorizations with an API authorization. expiry
datetime or string
Date/time when this authorization will cease working. This is the hard (maximum) expiry time of the token, after which it will *always* invalidate. Defaults to
You can also use a duration string like
9999-12-31 (no expiry). We advise to set a short expiry time, eg. 24 hours.
You can also use a duration string like
60 minutes or 1 day. The expiry will then be calculated from the current time. inactivity_interval
integer or string
Duration of inactivity (in seconds) after which the token is prematurely invalidated. You can use this to invalidate tokens quickly when the session is ended (eg. all open dashboards are closed). A value of
We advise not to set the interval to a value smaller than 2 minutes, to avoid accidental invalidation for a dashboard that is still open, eg. when a heartbeat signal sent to the server is missed.
You can also use a duration string like
0 means no automatic invalidation due to inactivity (the token will only expire based on the value in expiry). Defaults to 0.
We advise not to set the interval to a value smaller than 2 minutes, to avoid accidental invalidation for a dashboard that is still open, eg. when a heartbeat signal sent to the server is missed.
You can also use a duration string like
5 minutes or 25 minutes. ip
array[string]
List of IP addresses or subnets. Both IPv4 and IPv6 IPs and subnets can be used. Leave empty to disable IP whitelisting. Eg.:
["123.45.67.89", "123.45.66.0/4", "2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1"] securables
array[uuid]
List of Securable identifiers to give access to. If empty, the authorization can be used to access all Securables to which the User from which the authorization derives has access. It is advised to always explicitly list all Securables. Eg.:

where (applied before aggregation/grouping, for example, only select rows with a specific price), having (applied after aggregation/grouping, for example, to select only groups in which the total price exceeds a specific value) origin
string
Level to apply the filter. Possible values:
global (row-level security, exclude specific rows from users for the complete dataset), chart (row-level security, exclude specific rows from users for a single chart), initialization (initialize an interactive filter within a dashboard to a particular value, but the end-user can override the filter value) securable_id

nl. This is a shorthand form to set the Authorization - Locale association. If empty, the optimal locale will be automatically determined timezone_id
string
Timezone id for dashboards to use, if that timezone id exists. This timezone id needs to be a valid id that is available in the IANA timezone database, for example: Europe/Brussels or America/New_York. This is a shorthand form to set the Authorization - Timezone association.

Actions
Remember that an authorization is always immutable and therefore only supports Create, Get and Delete. It is possible though to associate using create fields which is explained further on. An authorization token can only be associated to the user that created it and is automatically associated to that User. Locale on the other hand is set using a property locale_id and cannot be updated after creation.
Action: Create
Example of creating a technical user to start creating temporary tokens. The result will contain a Login token that you can use to request an Api token. Make sure it is added to the correct organization using the invite code so it has access to your organizations resources

There are 3 types of tokens that you can create programmatically or manually:
| Login tokens | These are the tokens reserved for real users when you are manually authenticating to the platform.
Via the API you will only come into contact with them when you create a new user programmatically.
A new user result will contain a login token, this login token can be exchanged to an API token.
programmatic: the only way to create a new login token is to create a new user. Create User manual: login tokens can't be created manually |
| API tokens | API tokens can be used to programmatically create and update entities, push new data points or create temporary tokens
programmatic: use a valid 'login' token to create an authorization token of type 'api' manual: create on the Integration management page |
| Temporary tokens | authorizations can be used to temporarily delegate access to one or more datasets and dashboards to a third party (for example, an end-user within your own SaaS product). They can only be created with a valid API authorization. Temporary tokens can have access restrictions to limit the range of IP addresses that can get access, which securables can be accessed, which data filters are automatically applied to all queries, ...
programmatic: use a valid 'api' token to create an authorization of type 'temporary' manual: you cannot create temporary tokens via the UI |
The table above shows that there are two options to get started with an API token. Either you create a new user and use the login token to get a new API token or you request an API token via the Integration management page. Temporary tokens can then be created using this API token.

Authorization tokens can be fetched the same way as other resources types can be retrieved. However, you can only get the authorization tokens for which you are the entity owner (if you have created them, you are the entity owner by default), Besides of that you can not list login or temporary tokens, you can retrieve them if you know the specific id using a where clause.

Associations
Authorizations are only connected to Locale and User. However, both associations are special cases since 'associate' or 'dissociate' are not available due to the immutability of authorizations.
Associate: User
newly created associations are immediately associated with the user that created them, the response contains the user_id, this is the only way to associate users

When associating authorizations there are two things to keep in mind. First is that associations are immutable and thus the 'associate' call cannot be called directly. Secondly, the link between authorizations and users is implicit, while you can associate in the 'create' action as well, this is not possible for users. Authorizations are associated automatically. to the user who created them, you will never call the 'associate' call directly and cannot associate them to someone else than the creator.
Associate: Locale

JSONObject authorization = client.create("authorization",
ImmutableMap.of(
"type" , "temporary",

Connecting a locale to an authorization is implicit. Instead of creating an association, we set the locale_id directly in the properties which will create an association for us. By connecting a locale you can determine in which locale the user will see a dashboard when the token is used for embedding, to get more information on how to embed a dashboard refer to the Integration API
User
A registered Cumul.io user; note that creating new users can lead to additional charges for your current or next billing cycle. Any anonymous user or organization owner can create new users. You can only view users within your own organization. Only the user him/herself and the organization owner can view the e-mail address or update a user. Only an organization owner can delete a user.

Groups can be used to give a group of users access to securables (dashboards or datasets). When associating a user with a group there are flags available that describe the kind of relation. Adding a user in a group without setting any flags will not have any effect. Only the owner of a group can add members to the group. The user who created the group automatically becomes an owner of the group.

The link between Organizations and Users is also a special case. You can't add users to an organization once the users are made. The only way to add users to an organization is on creation time by using an invite code. As shown in the code samples, the invitecode can be retrieved by getting your organization through the API.
If you use a correct invite code, the association between the organization and user will be made implicitely. Later on you can fetch the users of your organization using the 'include' syntax in a get call.

When associating authorizations there are two things to keep in mind. First is that associations are immutable and thus the 'associate' call cannot be called directly. Secondly, the link between authorizations and users is implicit, while you can associate in the 'create' action as well, this is not possible for users. Authorizations are associated automatically. to the user who created them, you will never call the 'associate' call directly and cannot associate them to someone else than the creator.

Dissociating is similar for all resources. To break the link between two resources, simply provide the resource names and ids. Be careful that the 'role' of a resource is uppercase and usually plural. Dissociating can be done in both directions.
Group
Division or group within or across the bounds of organizations. Groups have administrators and members and can be assigned access rights to datasets or dashboards.
The creating user of a group is automatically given group owner rights. Groups can be created by any user. Only group owners can update or delete a group, or associate or dissociate new group members.

Groups can only be retrieved by group members or owner. They are linked to Securables (Dashboard/Dataset) and users which can be included in the results. For example we could do a query to get all members of a group or retrieve all securables that a group has access to. Note that you will only receive the included entities to which you have access, for example you will only receive users in the group that are in your organization. Although you can add users outside of your organization to a group, you can not list their details.

Adding a user in a group without setting any flags will not have any effect. Only the owner of a group can add members to the group. The user who created the group automatically becomes an owner of the group.

Dissociating is similar for all resources. To break the link between two resources, simply provide the resource names and ids. Be careful that the 'role' of a resource is uppercase and usually plural. Dissociating can be done in both directions.
Organization
Each user belongs to precisely 1 organization (company or association). Billing plans and invoices are managed on the organization-level. Several things are restricted within an organization. For example a user can't list users from another organization and dashboards/datasets are by default not accessible to other users. However, in case it is necessary to share securables cross organization, securables can be associated directly to a user or group.
