Creating an Organizational Unit Using the kie-config-cli Tool

Organizational units can be created using the kie-config-cli tool as well. To do so, run the create-org-unit command. The tool then guides you through the entire process of creating an organizational unit by asking for other required parameters. Type help for a list of all commands.

For more information about the kie-config-cli tool, see Chapter 4, Command Line Configuration.

⁠⁠Creating an Organizational Unit Using the REST API

To create an organizational unit in Knowledge Store, issue the POST REST API call. Details of the organizational unit are defined by the JSON entity.

  "description"  :  null,
  "repositories" :  []
}

{
  "name"         : "helloWorldUnit",
  "owner"        : "tester",
  "description"  :  null,
