Provide an API for Group Migration

Problem to solve

For the Group Migration to be a viable solution for the users who need to script Group migrations, we need to provide an API.

Proposed Solution

For the Group Migration to be a viable solution for the users who need to script Group migrations, we need to create a Group Migration API that provides the same capabilities as the Group Export/Import API.

This API should allow a user to trigger a migration of an entire group by providing the credentials to the source instance, the source group name, and the destination group name and location.

Additional considerations

  • Congregate End to End tests can be used as a regression test control data set for validating the Group Migration API functionality. It currently works with the Group Export/Import API and we have the ability to compare the results to validate the new Group Migration API against the expected results.
