Error description

• The documentation of the REST call /cli/group/import
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4GSP_6.1.0/com.i
  bm.udeploy.api.doc/topics/rest_cli_group_import_put.html
  
  says:
  
  Title: "Create a group"
  You can list one or more members of the new group in the 'users'
  array, or you can leave the array blank to create an empty
  group.
  
  One would expect the title to be "Import a group", since name of
  the resource contains the word "import".  If there is a special
  case where the group will be actually created, then it could be
  distinguished in the Text.
  
  
  On the other hand, the documentation of the corresponding CLI
  states:
  
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/SS4GSP
  _6.1.0/com.ibm.udeploy.api.doc/topics/udclient_importgroup.html
  
  
  
  Title: importGroup
  
  Create a group
  
  You can list one or more members of the new group in the 'users'
  array, or you can leave the array blank to create an empty
  group.
  
  So here as well it is not clear because under the title there is
  a line that says "Create a Group".
