Groups

Describe the question I'm trying to access attendance data for a group using /groups/v2/events/{eventID}/attendances. When the group is currently active, it works fine, returning an array of attendance objects. The instances I've tried where the group has been archived, it returns an error status: "404".

What have you tried that worked? The endpoint works on a group that has not been archived.

What have you tried that didn't work? When the group is archived, it returns 404.

Searching seems to indicate that archiving a group still retains the attendance data for the group. And in the report section, the attendance shows the historical data. So I'm not sure if this is a bug or maybe an optimization to filter out old attendance data.

Hi @j700vulcanpriest! This doesn’t appear to be a bug or an optimization, but a permissions issue. Only people with administrator permissions can access attendance data for archived groups.

I'm going to close this issue but if you are authenticated as an administrator and still having trouble, please feel free to open another issue.
