Example Response
For a successful transaction, there is no XML response. For failed requests, the response is the standard XML error response as described in the API Summary section.

Notes:
  • The Login API does not automatically create a "personal" (private) group for the user. To create a "personal" group for the user, use the Create Group API. Each user of the Connectbeam application should have a "personal"group.
