Hoi there!

I have figured it out! I 'd like to share it with you.
Here's the syntax:

//FIND THE GROUPNAME OF THE CURRENT LOGGED ON USER

   var currentUserName = person.properties.userName;

   var currentPerson = people.getPerson(currentUserName);

   var groupNameCurrentUser = people.getContainerGroups(currentPerson);

//FIND THE GROUPNAME OF THE CURRENT LOGGED ON USER
   var currentUserName = person.properties.userName;
   var currentPerson = people.getPerson(currentUserName);
   var groupNameCurrentUser = people.getContainerGroups(currentPerson);

You're going to a bit more trouble there than you need to. The object you are getting back from getPerson is identical to the object you are using to get the original userName. This code works just as well for me:

var currentUsersGroups = people.getContainerGroups(person);‍

Hey

Current groups::Node Type: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}authorityContainer, Node Aspects: [{http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}referenceable, {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}localized]
