Hi,I am trying to find out the container group name for the logged in user. I have used the authority service to find out the information but I got the following errorString groupName=serviceRegistry.getAuthorityService().getAuthoritiesForUser(userName)‍org.alfresco.repo.security.permissions.Access

I'm not in front of Alfresco code at the moment but I think there is a method to get the authorities for the current user. The method above is to get the authorities for any user and needs admin authority.

Am running into this problem of the current user not able to figure out what his group memberships are. Is there any simple way to find this in the Foundation API. There is a authorityService.getAuthoritiesForUser but that can only be used by administrator.

The method you want is public Set<String> getAuthorities().
