Get current user's group Ecmascript\Javascript Client Object model SharePoint 2010


To get the group for the current Logedin User, you will have to iterate through all the groups in the site or you can check if the user exists in a specific group.

To get all the groups and then check if the user exists in each group see the other post Get all Groups Javascript\Ecmascript Client object model sharepoint 2010

Or you can simple check if the user exists in one of the pre-specified groups like i did below

see example

function CheckCurrentUser()
{

var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();

var groupCollection = clientContext.get_web().get_siteGroups();

// Get the Our Group’s ID
var _group = groupCollection.getById(2); ->> ID of the Group

var users = _group.get_users();

clientContext.load(_group);

clientContext.load(users,’Include(loginName)’);

this._currentUser = clientContext.get_web().get_currentUser(); ->> Get current user

clientContext.load(this._currentUser,’Include(loginName)’);

clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,
this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this,
this.onQueryFailed));
}


function onQuerySucceeded() {

if(users.count >0)
{

UserExistInGroup = false;

for(var i=0; i < users.count; i++)

{

if(users[i].get_loginName() == this._currentUser.get_loginName())

{

UserExistInGroup = true;

}

}
alert('Is User In The Group' + UserExistInGroup )
}}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {

alert(‘Request failed. ‘ + args.get_message() + ‘\n’ + args.get_stackTrace());

}

  1. Dude, if you're going to post code like this, getting it in google searches, do us all a favor and make sure it WORKS! The code above has obviously never been tested.

    Replace the succeeded function with something like the following:
    function onCurrUserSucceeded() {
    //alert("users length"+users.count+" " +users.length);
    userEnumerator = users.getEnumerator();
    UserExistInGroup = false;
    while (userEnumerator.moveNext()) {
    i = userEnumerator.get_current();
    if(i.get_loginName() == _currentUser.get_loginName())

    {

    UserExistInGroup = true;
    alert('Is User In The Group' + UserExistInGroup );
    _isEditor=true;
    }

    }


    }

  2. Code is fully tested and it works. All you gotta do is fix the quotes ' and "". If it didn't work for you does not mean it does not work for others. It is the most viewed and used Post on my blog

  3. Not much use for this code since all you can do is display an alert to the user. Global variables cannot be populated and nothing can be returned to calling functions. Pretty useless!

  9. Hey,

    Couldn't get the code above to work for myself (so used a combination of examples), but this found this worked:-

    var groupCollection;
    var pertinent_group;
    var current_user;
    var isUserInGroups = false;
    var context;

    function FindLoggedInUser() {

    context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var currentUser = context.get_web().get_currentUser();
    context.load(currentUser);
    context.executeQueryAsync(
    function (sender, args) {
    //alert(currentUser.get_loginName());
    current_user = currentUser.get_loginName();
    SP_Group_1();

    }
    , FailureHander);
    }

    function SP_Group_1()
    {
    groupCollection = context.get_web().get_siteGroups();

    pertinent_group = groupCollection.getById(3);

    var users = pertinent_group.get_users();

    context.load(users);

    context.executeQueryAsync(
    function (sender, args) {

    var userEnumerator = users.getEnumerator();
    var i;
    while (userEnumerator.moveNext())
    {
    i = userEnumerator.get_current();
    //alert(i.get_loginName());
    if(i.get_loginName() == current_user)
    {
    isUserInGroups = true;
    //alert('User In The Group');
    break;
    }
    }
    }
    , FailureHander);

    }
    function FailureHander(sender, args) {
    alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
    }
