Hi @Prashardan ,
You may have a look
As mentioned in above blog below point returns required data which can be processed in frontend to extract the required group
http://localhost:4502/bin/security/authorizables.json?filter=admin
here admin is user id
Or we can write custom logic in servlet and call that servlet in frontend JS
Below is a sample servlet which returns list of principal name of groups
package com.example.group.core.servlets;//write your package name
import com.google.gson.JsonArray;
import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
import org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.Group;
import org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.User;
import org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.SlingAllMethodsServlet;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import javax.jcr.RepositoryException;
import javax.servlet.Servlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
@Component(
service = {Servlet.class},
property = {
"sling.servlet.paths=/bin/getUserGroups",
"sling.servlet.methods=GET"
}
)
public class UserGroupsServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(UserGroupsServlet.class.getName());
@Override
protected void doGet(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
JsonObject jsonResponse = new JsonObject();
JsonArray groupsArray = new JsonArray();
try {
UserManager userManager = request.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(UserManager.class);
User user = getUser(request.getUserPrincipal().getName(), userManager);
if (user == null) {
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
jsonResponse.addProperty("error", "User not found.");
response.getWriter().write(jsonResponse.toString());
return;
}
Iterator<Group> userGroups = user.memberOf();
while (userGroups.hasNext()) {
Group group = userGroups.next();
if (group != null) {
groupsArray.add(group.getPrincipal().getName());
}
}
jsonResponse.add("groups", groupsArray);
jsonResponse.addProperty("userId", request.getUserPrincipal().getName());
} catch (RepositoryException e) {
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
jsonResponse.addProperty("error", "Repository exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
response.setContentType("application/json");
response.getWriter().write(jsonResponse.toString());
}
private User getUser(String userId, UserManager userManager) {
try {
return (User) userManager.getAuthorizable(userId);
} catch (RepositoryException e) {
logger.severe("Error getting user: " + e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
}
Thanks
Hi @Prashardan
You need to write a custom servlet and call from javascript to know the user group.
There is a OOTB servlet but that did not return groups, just return user info
