Expected behaviour you didn't see

I.E:

• Attributes are stored into mongo DB as active but in Group and Device model are called attributes
• Groups are managed internally (and not only into the as services (refer to PR #1648 and Issue #1649 )

All datamodels used across codebase, API requests and DB models should be homogeneus

[AlvaroVega]

We should review doc about ensure API s properly described. Possibly a db script update should be needed to solve this issue if finally should be fixed.

Not sure if this is the best issue to implement now, since implements changes in database (mongo) model and has some impact in current production deploys.

As part of this issue, analyze which exact adaptations are needed.

The final objective is that API, code and DB model get aligned (code-API adaptation is also mentioned here).

Maybe both #1649 and this issue should be addressed together.
