@tulasi8 

so you are saying the same group shows name for some other user and not for this user?

If yes then it's ACL issue, debug that

Hi @tulasi8 

 

 

Faulty integrations or imports can create orphaned rows in sys_user_grmember table  (check created by) where the user exists, but the group reference is empty.

 

Workaround:

 

Using background script -> clean those empty group data ( try in your non-prod)

script to remove empty groups from user profile

Hi there @tulasi8 

 

Maybe if the user is not actually a member of any groups, if the referenced group record has been deleted or is invalid, or if an ACL is preventing the user from viewing the group records. I recommend first checking the sys_user_grmember table to verify the user's group memberships and confirming that the referenced group records exist and are accessible.
