# Associate practitioners with a group

`POST /groups/{id}/practitioners`

Associates one or more practitioners with a group, creating group–practitioner membership records. Optionally also associates each practitioner with one or more specific locations within the group. Suitable for initial population as well as incremental additions. Idempotent — an UPSERT_DATA merge keyed on the group and practitioner, so calling again for an already-associated practitioner re-merges the supplied data into the existing association rather than creating a duplicate or returning a conflict.
