Zabbix API host.create (groupid) issue

[tillz1505]

Hi guys, I am having a small problem with the Zabbix API, I have looked around but I can't find a direct answer to my exact problem

When trying to create a host (with host.create), it appears I cannot have 'null' groupid's but I can have 'null' templateid's

e.g

     
 "groups":{
         "1":{
            "groupid":"10"
         },
         "2":{
            "groupid":null
         },
         "3":{
            "groupid":"20"
         }
      },
      "templates":{
         "1":{
            "templateid":"1044"
         },
         "2":{
            "templateid":null
         },
         "3":{
            "templateid":null
         }
      }

When I have null groupid's, I get this error:

Application error.","data":"No permissions to referred object or it does not exist!"

Does all this happen because groups are required when creating a host?
Is there anyway around this or any other alternative?

P.S I don't know if this is a bug or not

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
