    I found the solution and the below is the code sample for updating the Entity Security Group. The below update the Display Group for an entity 

     

    'Assign the Display Group 
Dim objWritableMember As WritableMember = BRApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(si, dimTypeId.Entity, EntityName)
objWritableMember.ReadDataGroupUniqueID2 = BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si,ReadDataGroup2).Group.UniqueID
BRapi.Finance.MemberAdmin.SaveMemberInfo(si,True,objWritableMember,False,Nothing,False,Nothing,TriStateBool.FalseValue)

    Hey JackLacava​ Krishna​ ,

    I am using an Exclusion group on my Entity Read Group 1. However, when I try to pull the member, it is giving me an object reference error. It works fine if the entity Security group is not an exclusion group.

    Regards,
    Nikhil Powar

    Some of the APIs are for internal use.

    What are you trying to do, exactly? There is probably an easier way than rummaging through unknown functions.
