It's not possible to add a node group without knowing the ID of the category it should be assigned to.
But so far, you cannot query them.

The following hack shows how you currently would need a hardcoded uuid, found from metadata.xml

@
def get_group_cat(group):

cat_name  = "CM Testumgebung" 
    cat_id    = "9ab2f05c-8191-4da5-853f-8dcc19d2b5da"

return (cat_name, cat_id)

def create_group_obj(objname,arg_nodes):

if arg_nodes:
        print "adding group with nodes" 
        nodeids = arg_nodes
    else:
        nodeids = []
        print "adding group"

1. erstmal fix, spaeter ueber name!
   cat_name, cat_id = get_group_cat(objname)

params = {
        "nodeGroupCategory":  cat_id,
        "displayName"      :  objname,
        "description"      :  "Group %s" % objname,
        "dynamic"          :  'false',
        "nodeIds"          :  nodeids,
        "reason"           : "Automatically created in testing",
    }
    return params

When creating new objects, you should be able to

• add categories
• find the category ids to put the objects in the right place.

Workaround is to sync via LDAP (and it's a bad workaround)
Jonathan uttered words like

• "LDAP"
• "considered"
• "internal"
