What groups is a user part of

jenglert — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 18:07:41 GMT

Does anyone know an easy/quick method to tell which groups a user is part of?

I don't know of one in the UI.
I definitely like a way to manage groups a user is a member of rather than having to go to each group one at a time and add the user.

There is this
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API#People_API

Array getContainerGroups(ScriptNode person)
Gets the groups that contain the specified authority.

which could be used in a template to create a custom view or something.

This is kind of dumb, I'm sure I'm just not looking in the right places, but once I do a call to getContainerGroups(…) I get a list of objects of type authorityContainer ({http://www.alfresco.org/model/user/1.0}authorityContainer). I've been looking for some documentation for this type, namely, its properties so that I can get a human-readable group name out of it.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Andy.
Using the method of trial-and-error, I managed to get the information I wanted using a webscript.

Here are the guts of it, if anyone wants it (of course there's an xml file to go with this, but it's pretty standard, takes the username as a parameter):
usergroups.get.js

/*
Get User Groups Webscript Javascript file
*/
var person = people.getPerson(args["name"]);
model.groups = people.getContainerGroups(person);
model.test = new Array();
var containerGroups = people.getContainerGroups(person);
for(var i=0;i<containerGroups.length;i++){
   model.test = containerGroups[i].getQnamePath();
}

model.personName = person;‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

usergroups.get.html.ftl

<img src="/alfresco/images/logo/AlfrescoLogo32.png" alt="Alfresco" style="padding-right: 10px;"/><span class="mainTitle">User Groups</span>
<div style="margin-top: 10px;">
   User ${personName.properties.userName} (${personName.properties.firstName} ${personName.properties.lastName}) is part of the groups: 
   <ul>
   <#list groups as group>
      <li>
         ${group.qnamePath}
   </#list>
   </ul>
</div>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
