Should I use PATCH or PUT in my REST API?

Question

I want to design my rest endpoint with the appropriate method for the following scenario.

There is a group. Each group has a status. The group can be activated or in

Answer 1

One possible option to implement such behavior is

PUT /groups/api/v1/groups/{group id}/status
{
    "Status":"Activated"
}

And obviously, if someone need to deactivate it, PUT will have Deactivated status in JSON.

In case of necessity of mass activation/deactivation, PATCH can step into the game (not for exact group, but for groups resource:

PATCH /groups/api/v1/groups
{
    { “op”: “replace”, “path”: “/group1/status”, “value”: “Activated” },
    { “op”: “replace”, “path”: “/group7/status”, “value”: “Activated” },
    { “op”: “replace”, “path”: “/group9/status”, “value”: “Deactivated” }
}

In general this is idea as @Andrew Dobrowolski suggesting, but with slight changes in exact realization.
