Shiv Tyagi b9cc9e9cc3 website/docs: document group_uuid as a property for group object (#20865)
The application might need a unique id for a group to uniquely identify it. It can help in various cases like detecting group renames and more.
We should document `group_uuid` field of the group object to make users aware that it can be used in custom property mappings.

title: Group properties and attributes

## Object properties
The group object has the following properties:
- `name`: The group's display name.
- `group_uuid`: The group's unique id.
- `is_superuser`: A boolean field that determines if the group's users are superusers.
- `parents`: The parent groups of this group.
- `roles`: The roles directly assigned to this group.
- `all_roles()`: Returns all roles for this group, including roles inherited from parent groups.
- `attributes`: Dynamic attributes, see [Attributes](#attributes).
## Examples
These are examples of how group objects can be used within authentik policies and property mappings.
### List all group members
Use the following examples to list all users that are members of a group:
```python title="Get all members of a group object"
group.users.all()
```
```python title="Specify a group object based on name and return all of its members"
from authentik.core.models import Group
Group.objects.get(name="name of group").users.all()
```
### List all roles for a group
Use the following examples to list roles assigned to a group:
```python title="Get directly assigned roles for a group object"
group.roles.all()
```
```python title="Get all roles including inherited from parent groups"
group.all_roles()
```
## Attributes
By default, authentik group objects are created with no attributes, however custom attributes can be set.
See [the user reference](../user/user_ref.mdx#attributes) for well-known attributes.
