How to get Group name from Logged in User in ExtJs

[burnray]

Hi,

I am trying to get the Group Name from the Logged in user.

i used some thing like this for getting logged in user

CQ.User.getCurrentUser()

Link to CQ widgets API: https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/widgets-api/

But I dont see any method to fetch Group of that User.

If any one have solution regarding this please share.

Thanks,

You can use the http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/day/cq/security/Group.html object. Then you can call its isMember(Authorizable authorizable) method to see if the user belongs to the given group. 

To learn how to work with the com.day.cq.security APIs from JavaScript -- see:

Hope this helps
