AEM6.5 how to get user details and the groups the user is associated to in author environment

Hi,

 

Once any user  logs in to the author environment how could I get the details of the groups the user is member of.

 

I am using js so wanted to check if there is any json available through which I could get this details. Instead of me building a new code for this.

 

I noticed that for authorizables.json  we need to provide the username.

http://localhost:4502/bin/security/authorizables.json?filter=username&_charset_=utf-8

 

Now if is the case i would need a way to find the user name in the js and then again send the request. 

 

Please let me know as I could resolve this in a better way .

 

 

Thanks

In js, you can get the user as Granite.author.ContentFrame.getUserID()

Please refer to the function getUserGroups() here:

@srinivas_chann1 

I would suggest using the service user to get the details of AEM user/groups. Make use of Authorizable API

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-5/sites/developing/using/reference-materials/javadoc/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/security/user/Authorizable.html 

 

see the following code snippet

 

 

public static Group getGroup(String userId, UserManager userManager) { try { return (Group) userManager.getAuthorizable(userId); } catch (RepositoryException e) { logger.error("Error {}", e); } return null; }

      I did the below to solve the issue 

       

       

      function getLoggedInUserID() {
      var currentUserId = "";
      var currentUserInfo;
      var CURRENT_USER_JSON_PATH = Granite.HTTP.externalize('/libs/granite/security/currentuser.json');
      var result = Granite.$.ajax({
      type: "GET",
      async: false,
      url: CURRENT_USER_JSON_PATH
      });

      if (result.status === 200) {
      currentUserInfo = JSON.parse(result.responseText);
      currentUserId = currentUserInfo.authorizableId;
      }
      return currentUserId;
      }

       

       

      function getUserGroups(userID){

      var isMemberOfGroupEveryOne=false;

      $.ajax({
      url: "/bin/security/authorizables.json?filter=" + userID +'&_charset_=utf-8',
      async: false,
      success: function(result) {


      if (result) {
      $.each(result.authorizables,function(index,authObj){


      if( (authObj.id !== userID)){
      return;
      }else {

      $.each(authObj.memberOf,function(index,memberOf){
      if(memberOf.id === 'everyone'){
      isMemberOfGroupEveryOne=true;
      }
      });


      }

      });
      }

      }
      });

       


      return isMemberOfGroupEveryOne;
      }
