Return logged-in user groups using getMyGroups()

[Sai Kumar B]

Hi All,

Today I have found an amazing undocumented API that outputs all logged-in user group sys_id(s). You can use this to reduce the amount of scripting 😉 

You can try this in your Background script

gs.print(gs.getUser().getMyGroups())

Output :

Hi, yea but the the problem is the returned value is not an array.

Do you know what type of an object is returned?

Hello @Patrik Z ,

It's an iterator, you can use ".next()" to go through its attributes.

You can easily convert the object to a comma-separated String like this:

var myGroups = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(gs.getUser().getMyGroups())).toString();

Looks like overkill but works 🙂
