## What to use instead

Manage groups with the Harness Platform User Group API (apidocs.harness.io/user-group), authenticated with a Harness API key in the x-api-key header.

The replacement endpoints are Harness Platform APIs that need a Harness API key, a new credential to create.

## Split Admin API's words

> On your migration date, five Split Admin API endpoints will be disabled and replaced with new endpoints on the Harness platform.
