Hi,
in my system I have some groups and each group has a sub-group.
How I can get the parent of a specific sub-group?
thank you.

You can refer the AuthorityService APIs to achieve this

getGroups() & searchGroups() should do the trick in your case.

Copying sample code from <a href="http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/remote-api/source/jav...">Here</a>

/**
     * Detailed test of get Parents
     */
    public void testGetParents() throws Exception
    {
        createTestTree();
        
       /**
        * Get all parents for the root group ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS groups which has no parents
        */
       {
          Response response = sendRequest(new GetRequest(URL_GROUPS + "/" + ADMIN_GROUP + "/parents"), Status.STATUS_OK);
          JSONObject top = new JSONObject(response.getContentAsString());
          logger.debug(response.getContentAsString());
          JSONArray data = top.getJSONArray("data");
          // Top level group has no parents
          assertTrue("top level group has no parents", data.length() == 0);
       }
       
       /**
        * Get GROUP B   Which should be a child of TESTROOT
        */
       {
          Response response = sendRequest(new GetRequest(URL_GROUPS + "/" + TEST_GROUPB + "/parents"), Status.STATUS_OK);
          JSONObject top = new JSONObject(response.getContentAsString());
          logger.debug(response.getContentAsString());
          JSONArray data = top.getJSONArray("data");
          assertTrue(data.length() > 0);
       }
       
          /**

        */
       {

          JSONObject top = new JSONObject(response.getContentAsString());
          logger.debug(response.getContentAsString());
          JSONArray data = top.getJSONArray("data");
          assertTrue(data.length() >= 2);
       }
