List competence groups

Lists all competence groups of the account, ordered by name.

The group level of System administration > Employee competencies. Flat: ID, name and a CanBeDeleted flag — the flag only says that no employee is rated on the group's competences, not that DELETE will succeed. Unpaged and unfiltered. For groups with their competences use GET /v2/competences/by-group.

Use it to:

Look up GroupId values for creating or moving competences
Map TimeLog competence groups to an external skills taxonomy

Not for:

Groups together with their competences — GET /v2/competences/by-group

Behaviour:

Idempotent.
Safe to retry.
Changes are visible to the next read immediately.

Next: PUT /v2/competence-groups, DELETE /v2/competence-groups/{id}, POST /v2/competences

Bearer Token

OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. JWT and reference tokens are both accepted. The token must carry the required scope (default tlp). The token's sub claim is the acting user. A token WITHOUT sub (client-credentials) acts as the system service user. If the sub user cannot log in (inactive, locked, deleted), the request is rejected with 401 — it is no longer let through without a user. > Not yet documented: how to obtain a token. > Not yet documented: token lifetime.
