Try using the AuthorityService.getAllAuthorities(AuthorityType.GROUP).

That should get you a set of user groups defined in your instance.

For Alfresco 3.1 :

search.luceneSearch("user://alfrescoUserStore", "TYPE:\"usr:authorityContainer\"")‍

var groups = search.xpathSearch("user://alfrescoUserStore", "/sys:system/sys:authorities/*");‍

For Alfresco 3.2 : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.2_JavaScript_Services_API#Groups_.28Authority_Service.29

I had a difficult time looking for something similar to the example webscript from api/people ( people.getPeople(filter, maxResults != null ? parseInt(maxResults) : 0);) with regards to getting groups, but the posts by rliu and bertrandF were very helpful. Rliu's is great for java-backed webscript and BertrandF's for javascript webscript.

3.2 already has web scripts for groups. They are how the share admin console works.

Look at the online doc for
/api/groups
/api/rootgroups

Please, as I am losing neurons on this…
Any code / snippet to list groups with the necessary 'import' clause?

I am using it like that:

 model.groups = AuthorityService.searchGroups()‍

and getting the following exception:

La classe Java "org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.AuthorityService" ne possède aucun champ ou aucune méthode d'instance publique appelé "searchGroups"

Server: Alfresco Community v3.2.0 (2039) schema 2 019

What's wrong with /api/groups ?

Have a look at the existing code rather than wasting brainpower.

Finally I got what I was looking for.

model.groups = groups.searchGroups("*");‍

This snippet is not elegant at all, but at least this works.
