There is not userId or fail to create userGroup.

Error message

There is not userId or fail to create userGroup.

What it means

When not running in open-source mode, createUserGroup fetches the current authenticated user's id via userService.getUserIdFromSecurity() to auto-insert the creator as a group member; if the id is empty/blank it throws PinpointUserGroupException because the group would be created without an owner. Note: by then the group row may already be inserted.

Solutions

1. Ensure the request is authenticated so getUserIdFromSecurity returns a valid id.
2. Pass through the authenticated web endpoint rather than calling the service internally without a security context.
3. Catch PinpointUserGroupException and clean up / retry with an explicit creator id.

Example fix

// before
userGroupService.createUserGroup(group); // from unauthenticated batch
// after
UserGroupMember member = new UserGroupMember(group.getId(), authenticatedUserId);
userGroupService.createUserGroup(group);
userGroupService.insertMember(member);

String userId = userService.getUserIdFromSecurity();
if (StringUtils.isEmpty(userId)) { /* abort or supply explicit creator */ }

try { userGroupService.createUserGroup(group); } catch (PinpointUserGroupException e) { /* no authenticated user — retry authenticated or clean up */ }

When it happens

Trigger: Calling createUserGroup with isOpenSource=false while the security context holds no user id — e.g. unauthenticated/internal calls, scheduler-triggered creation, or a security setup where getUserIdFromSecurity returns empty.

Common situations: Non-open-source (enterprise) builds where calls bypass Spring Security authentication; batch/CLI provisioning of user groups without a logged-in user.
