Listing User Group

[mahkath]

Hi,

I'm using Java Webservice to contact Alfresco from my application.

My application uses Alfresco authentication for login to my application.

Is there any way to retrive user group details using Webservice API, so that I can identify whether user belongs to MYGROUP or not?

Please help me it is very urgent.

Regards,
Mahesh

Of course, yes its possible.

I guess, easiest/fast way to solve you problem is to take usage of WebSccript-API of Alfresco and Java Webservices. Create a webscript that obains you user as a RESTParameter and search with the help of authorityService for users:

 getAuthorityService().getAuthoritiesForUser("user");
‍‍‍

This could be marshalled as XML (for instance) and turned back to your application.

Hi all,
I have quite the same problem, I want to create groups using Web Service.

Can you explain me or tell me where to find information on how I can call a Web Script using Web Service?

I found that I can call an action in this way:

WebServiceFactory.getActionService().executeActions(predicate, new Action[]{userGroupsAction});‍

But I miss the connection between Web Script and Action.
