Hi guys!
Is there any way, with the current capabilities of the *REST API,* to create globalTags (not specifically attached to any particular entitiy)? If so, can you provide me an example json request and API endpoint?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi <@U03DUUS85AS> we support this functionality on the GraphQL API, but not for REST, thanks! <https://datahubproject.io/docs/authorization/access-policies-guide/>

<@U03DUUS85AS> are you trying to create a tag and give it a description without having to attach it to any datasets or columns?

Hi <@UV0M2EB8Q>, yes thats what I am trying to do!

<@U03DUUS85AS>: This gist should help. <https://gist.github.com/shirshanka/a4f17aa98b3c152ae7acd77c5e5ce3bd>

The equivalent OpenAPI call would look like:
```curl -X 'POST' \
  '<http://localhost:9002/openapi/entities/v1/>' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '[
  {
    "entityType": "tag",
    "entityUrn": "urn:li:tag:12345",
    "aspect": {
      "__type": "TagProperties",
      "name": "my_special_tag",
      "description": "Tag with a special description"
    }
  }
]'```


Thanks <@UV0M2EB8Q> it is working like a charm!
