# Get the ID of the configuration template linked to a group

`GET /groups/{group_id}/configuration-template`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.opal.dev/v1`
- URL: `https://api.opal.dev/v1/groups/{group_id}/configuration-template`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Returns the ID of the configuration template that the group is currently
linked to. The response body is
`{"configuration_template_id": "<uuid>" | null}`:

  * `<uuid>` is the ID of the configuration template the group is linked to.
  * `null` means the group is not linked to any configuration template
    and uses its own private configuration.

This endpoint only exposes the link between a group and a configuration
template — it does not return the template's own fields (name,
description, request configurations, visibility, etc.). To read those,
call `GET /configuration-templates/{configuration_template_id}` with the
ID returned here.

## Path parameters

- `group_id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

The ID of the configuration template currently linked to the group, or `null` if the group uses its own private configuration.

- GroupConfigurationTemplate: A reference, by ID only, to the configuration template a group is linked to. This schema does not include any of the template's own fields (name, description, request configurations, visibility, etc.) — to read or modify those, use the `/configuration-templates` endpoints with the ID carried here. A `null` `configuration_template_id` indicates that the group is not linked to a configuration template and uses its own private configuration.
  - `configuration_template_id` string, uuid, nullable, required: The ID of the configuration template that the group is linked to, or `null` if the group is not linked to a configuration template. Only the ID is exposed here; the template's own fields are managed through the `/configuration-templates` endpoints.

## Other responses

- `403`: The caller is not authorized to view this group.
- `404`: The group was not found.
