Attach a List of Security Groups to a Server or NIC

Note: Updating the list of Security Groups attached to an existing server specified by its ID. Security Groups should already exist as part of the datacenter.

Note: Only contract administrators, owners, and users with permissions to the VDC concerned can create and manage NSGs via API.

Prerequisite: You need an IONOS Cloud account with API credentials configured with the appropriate permissions.

To attach a list of NSGs to a server, you need to use the following Cloud API PUT request providing the datacenterId,serverId and the IDs of the security groups in the body:

PUT /datacenters/{datacenterId}/servers/{serverId}/securitygroups

Similarly for a NIC, provide the datacenterId, nicId and the IDs of the security groups in the body:

PUT /datacenters/{datacenterId}/servers/{serverId}/nic/{nicId}/securitygroups
