Create, list, update descriptions for, and delete groups in an existing user pool
Create the user pool first and sign in with permission to manage it. Every operation requires --user-pool-id. Use global --provider to select Volcengine or BytePlus and the matching account and region

Commands

group create

Create a group in a user pool

group update

Update a group’s description in a user pool (the group name is immutable; description is required and cannot be empty)

group list

List groups in a user pool (exact-match filters; token-based pagination)
Pass the returned nextToken to --next-token to read subsequent pages; the CLI does not fetch every page automatically

group delete

Delete a group from a user pool (irreversible)
Deletion is irreversible. Check the user pool and resource IDs. Interactive terminals prompt for confirmation; scripts must pass --yes

Verify a group

Save the group ID returned by creation, then query that ID after updates to check its description:
This command group manages group resources and descriptions. It has no subcommands for adding or removing group members. Department add-users commands do not manage group membership
