Accessing user group membership using HTL

[Gunars_Vilcins]

I'm trying to accomplish something similar found in this post.

I have this in my "scripts.js" file:

use(function() { var resolver = resource.getResourceResolver(); var session = resolver.adaptTo(Packages.javax.jcr.Session); var userManager = resolver.adaptTo(Packages.org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager); var auth = userManager.getAuthorizable(session.getUserID()); var groups = auth.memberOf(); return { isAnonymous: isAnonymous, groups: groups }; });

And in my component, I have this: 

<ul data-sly-use.user="scripts.js" data-sly-list="${user.groups}"> <li>${itemList.index}: ${item}</li> </ul>

It's just displaying an index list of blank items:

• 0:
• 1:
• 2:
• 3:
• 4:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Try this, It works

use(function() { var resolver = resource.getResourceResolver(); var session = resolver.adaptTo(Packages.javax.jcr.Session); var userManager = resolver.adaptTo(Packages.org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager); var auth = userManager.getAuthorizable(session.getUserID()); var groups = auth.memberOf(); return { groups: groups }; });

<ul data-sly-use.user="file.js" data-sly-list="${user.groups}"> <li>${itemList.index}: ${item.principal.name} </li> </ul>

You can do it even shorter:

1. use(function() {
2. var resolver = resource.getResourceResolver();
3.  
4. var userManager = resolver.adaptTo(Packages.org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager);
5.  
6. var auth = userManager.getAuthorizable(resolver.getUserID());
7. var groups = auth.memberOf();
8.  
9. return {
10. groups: groups
11. }
12. });

I appreciate the responses everyone! @edubey, how did you know that "principal.name" was available?

There is no rocket science here....just check returned object type :)

userManager.getAuthorizable(session.getUserID()); returns object of this class https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.6/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/security/user/Authorizable.html which has method getPrincipal which has getName method
