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
I used the method mentioned in your comment and I'm getting below result.

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]

and not showing the group user is in like GROUP_TEST and GROUP_ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS

Do you have any idea which method should I use to get groups of user??
