Updating the command for adding a SAML group link to specify the group name and access level

Asmaa Hassan requested to merge asmaa.hassan-master-patch-14226 into master

What does this MR do and why?

A customer is interested in managing SAML group links through API, but couldn't use the command form the docs to create a group link.

Testing it myself, I'm adding the command that worked for me.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Create a new group on your IdP and grab its name or ID:

  2. For a group that has SAML configured:

    curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your token>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "saml_group_name": "<name of your saml group>", "access_level": "30"}' --url "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/groups/<group ID>/saml_group_links"

  3. In UI, you should be able to see the new group link created under SAML Group Links
