Get Group Hierarchy

Use the Get Group Hierarchy endpoint to retrieve a group's hierarchy, either a root group or a non-root group. This endpoint returns only the groups, not the associated accounts. By default, the endpoint returns all of the subgroups that are downstream of the specified group. Pass a value for subGroupLevel to specify how many subgroup levels to retrieve. See Creating a Corporate Hierarchy for instructions on using this endpoint.
