getMyGroups() not working properly.

[KS86]

Hi all,

I am using getMyGroups() in my code to get all groups. It is returning one extra group. Why?

I know below thing can be achieved by other ways, but I want to use getMyGroups().

My code-

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

var groupIds=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(groups));

var gr=new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');

gr.addQuery('sys_id', 'IN', groupIds);

gr.query();

while(gr.next()){

    gs.info("Name "+gr.name)

}

Answer-

*** Script: Name HR Tier 1
*** Script: Name App Engine Admins
*** Script: Name Conditional Script Writer
*** Script: Name Team Development Code Reviewers
*** Script: Name HR

All these groups don't have Parent except HR Tier 1 , it is a child of HR group.

getMyGroups() returns parent group as well for the child to which you belong

So you should query sys_user_grmember to get exact group to which you belong

var groups = [];
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
gr.addQuery('user', 'IN', gs.getUserID());
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
    groups.push(gr.group.name.toString());
}
gs.info('groups are' + groups.toString());

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

I never found anywhere that states it will return parent group as well for the child to which you belong. Please mention any doc or article links you know.

Thanks for Gliderecording group solution , but I want to know about getMyGroups() functionality.
