If no values are to be passed for a parameter, this parameter is not to be specified. If a parameter value is to be overwritten with <empty>, two square brackets must be used.
Example: user set id "10" groups [ ] (Note the spaces between the brackets!)

If multiple values are to be passed in one parameter, they must be enclosed in inverted commas and surrounded by square brackets with a space between them.
Example: user set id "10" groups [ "Group1" "Group2" "Group3" ]
