The error is that the group you are passing is not defined. This is because when you call people.getGroup you are passing in siteGroups[i].id but there is no "id" property of a SiteGroup object.

Instead, try passing in siteGroups[i].fullName, see ScriptGroup object | Alfresco Documentation

Thanks Jeff, that works. But one more question concerning getting the users per group. I have code

		var group = people.getGroup(siteGroups[i].fullName); 
		var members = people.getMembers(group,false); 

		for (var member in members) 
		{ 
			var memberNode = people.getPerson(member.userName); 
			
			if (memberNode != null)
			{ 
			
				logFile.content += " - " + memberNode.properties["lastName"] + ";" + memberNode.properties["firstName"] + ";" + memberNode.properties["email"] + "\n";
			} 
		}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

but I do not get any users listed in logFile... so I must do something wrong there too...

Any help much appreciated!

Hello,

With code line "for (var member in members)" what you are really doing is an iteration through indexes of the array members .

So to access each individual member object you need to write members[member] inside the loop.

Your code should be somethig like:

var group = people.getGroup(siteGroups[i].fullName); 
var members = people.getMembers(group,false); 

for (var member in members) 
{ 
     var memberNode = people.getPerson(members[member].properties["userName"]); 
     if (memberNode != null)
     {
          logger.log(" - " + memberNode.properties["lastName"] + ";" + memberNode.properties["firstName"] + ";" + memberNode.properties["email"]);
     } 
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Regards

It should just be

for (var j=0; j<members.length; j++) 
{
	logFile.content += " - " + members[j].properties.lastName + ";" + members[j].properties.firstName + ";" + members[j].properties.email + "\n";
}

Yes, with a little refactoring this is a more accurate solution.
