Hi All,
I'm fetching a simple API query which is returning the group details of specific user. However, the group name is being returned as a sys_id instead of display name. How can I achieve that?
My REST Query is as below -
https://<instancename>.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user_grmember?sysparm_query=group.typeLIKE7bba903b0a0aa01e007536d6d0711429%5Egroup.active%3Dtrue&user.user_name=a376625
Solved! Go to Solution.

Just add the below line of code in the API and it should work fine -
&sysparm_fields=group.name

My Output looks like below -
"result": [
{

"sys_updated_by": "A384085",

"sys_mod_count": "0",
"sys_updated_on": "2012-02-09 15:03:16",
"sys_tags": "",
"user": {
"link": "https://fildev.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user/0108188f0a0aa02e010ed579ba132de1",
"value": "0108188f0a0aa02e010ed579ba132de1"
},
"sys_created_by": "A384085",

}
},
{

"sys_updated_by": "russell.hart@innovise.com",

"sys_tags": "",
"user": {
"link": "https://fildev.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user/0108188f0a0aa02e010ed579ba132de1",
"value": "0108188f0a0aa02e010ed579ba132de1"
},
"sys_created_by": "russell.hart@innovise.com",
"group": {
"link": "https://fildev.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user_group/070a232f0a0aa02e012d4f6a38ed4257",
"value": "070a232f0a0aa02e012d4f6a38ed4257"
}
}
]
This should show the group name and not the sys id (highlighted in bold)

I haven't written any code Omkar. Just ran the below query in Postman and it returned sys_ids.

Hi
Yes because these two are reference fields on the "sys_user_grmember" table. That is why it is returning the sys_id in the url for the same.
