SLX Web 7.5.1 - User's groups

[henrycohen29]

Hi,

Is there some sort of API call I could use to get all contac groups for a user? Not only the groups they created, but all the groups they have access to?

Thanks

Yes, you can get the groups the current user has access to.

//Get the GroupContext instance for the current user:

GroupContext grpContext = GroupContext.GetGroupContext();

//Use it to get an "EntityGroupInfo" object for a particular entity (by Table name):

EntityGroupInfo egi = grpContext.GetGroupInfoForTable("CONTACT");

// (or, you could also iterate grpContext.EntityGroupInfos to find it yourself or get all of them for all entities.)

//The EntityGroupInfo object has a list of all the groups this user has access to for this entity.  

//Note:  this list contains the ones they have 'hidden'.

foreach(GroupInfo groupInfo in egi.GroupsList)

{

  //do something with groupInfo... groupInfo.GroupName, or groupInfo.GroupID etc.

}

Hope this is what you were asking for,

Thanks.

I had actually achieved this using the following lone line of code:

List<GroupInfo> groups = GroupInfo.GetGroupList("CONTACT");

Even better!
