I want to share a map into a group. I use a post call

https://<portal_url>/sharing/rest/content/users/<user_owner>/shareItems/?f=json

body:

items=35767ae53e0f497e9e5789ca90ad6f77
groups=d67c7123e9454d678de355cbdb57e6be
confirmItemControl=true
everyone=false
org=false

and I get this has result:

{
"results": []
}

I should receive something like that:

{  "results": [    {      "itemId": "35767ae53e0f497e9e5789ca90ad6f77",      "success": true,      "notSharedWith": [               ]    }  ]}

Why do I get this empty result? Evidently the sharing is not working but I do not even receive a success : false result.

I login into the portal UI and I can share the map easily to the group.

Please help.

Found the soluition. The API reference is not clear on this. groups parameter must be pass has a querystring parameter, not in the body. In the reference exemple, there is no ? after /share...
