How to get group names using getMyGroups() method.

DS20 · ‎08-02-2018

Hello,

I wanted to get the group names of the user. I have tried using the getMyGroups() method, but its giving sys_id of the group not the display value of the group name.

Please help me in this.

Thanks in advanced.

If you want it in an array you can just alter Sanjivs example a bit. If you run the code below as a fix script you should first get the names of all groups you are apart of followed by a line with just the first group in that array

var grpArray = [];
var grm = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

grm.addQuery('user',gs.getUserID());

grm.query();
while (grm.next())
{
	grpArray.push(grm.group.getDisplayValue());
}

gs.print(grpArray);
gs.print(grpArray[0]);

Now if you want to use this like you do with getMyGroups() then you have to create a script include which you can call upon just like you do with getMyGroups.

var sys_ids = gs.getUser().getMyGroups().toArray();
names = getNames(sys_ids);
gs.info(names.join(', '));



function getNames(sys_ids ){
var names = [];
for (i=0;i<sys_ids .length;i++){
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
gr.get(sys_ids[i]);
names.push(gr.name.toString());
}
return names;
}

var groups = gs.getUser().getMyGroups();

gs.print(groups);

var arrayUtil = new global.ArrayUtil();

var grpArray = arrayUtil.convertArray(groups);

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');

gr.get(grpArray[0]);

gs.print(gr.name);

var test = gs.getUser().getMyGroups().toArray();

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');

gr.get(test[0]);

gs.print(gr.name);

Hi @DS20 ,

You can try with this script, it will work

var grpArray = [];

var grm = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

grm.addQuery('user',gs.getUserID());

grm.query();

while (grm.next())

{

grpArray.push(grm.group.getDisplayValue());

}

gs.print(grpArray);
