Creating resources with the Angular SDK

You can use the SDK to create new resources.

Here is an example component that creates a governance group. Copy it into your Angular project to try it out:

src/app/create-group.component.ts

import {Component, inject} from '@angular/core';
import {switchMap} from 'rxjs';
import {
  GovernanceGroupsService,
  WorkgroupDto,
} from '@sailpoint/angular-sdk/governance_groups';
import {PublicIdentitiesService} from '@sailpoint/angular-sdk/public_identities';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-create-group',
  template: `<button (click)="createWorkgroup()">Create group</button>`,
})
export class CreateGroupComponent {
  private readonly identities = inject(PublicIdentitiesService);
  private readonly groups = inject(GovernanceGroupsService);

  createWorkgroup(): void {
    this.identities
      .getPublicIdentitiesV1({limit: 1})
      .pipe(
        switchMap((identities) => {
          const owner = identities[0];
          const workgroupDto: WorkgroupDto = {
            name: 'DB Access Governance Group',
            description: 'Description of the Governance Group',
            owner: {
              id: owner.id,
              type: 'IDENTITY',
              name: owner.name,
            },
          };
          return this.groups.createWorkgroupV1({workgroupDto});
        }),
      )
      .subscribe({
        next: (workgroup) => console.log(workgroup),
        error: (error) => console.error(error),
      });
  }
}

The example first calls getPublicIdentitiesV1 to read one identity. A governance group needs an owner, and this identity becomes that owner.

switchMap chains the two calls. It takes the identity from the first response and starts the create request with it. Both calls run in one subscription, so one error handler covers both.

The SDK returns the new governance group:

{
  description: 'Description of the Governance Group',
  owner: {
    displayName: 'Brian Mendoza',
    emailAddress: null,
    type: 'IDENTITY',
    id: '0003c25c365e492381d4e557b6159f9b',
    name: 'Brian Mendoza'
  },
  memberCount: 0,
  connectionCount: 0,
  id: '541ded73-d4b4-41d6-a10c-8085c02815bb',
  name: 'DB Access Governance Group',
  created: null,
  modified: null
}
