There is no "groups" root scope object, you have to use the "people" root scope object which handles groups.

The section "Root Scope Objects" of http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API#Scripting_API reports

groups The root of group authorities. Providing access to groups Groups

and when I use that object from a script inside Alfresco all works well.
Anyway trying to use people I obtain the same Exception

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "people" is not defined

tks anyway
