a!groupMembers() Function

Returns a DataSubset of group members of a given group.

Syntax

a!groupMembers( group, direct, memberType, pagingInfo )

group (Group): The group whose members are to be retrieved.

direct (Boolean): If set to true, returns only the direct members of the group. Default is false.

memberType (Text): Determines the member types that are retrieved. Valid values: "ALL" (default), "GROUP", "USER".

pagingInfo (PagingInfo): The paging and sorting configurations to apply when retrieving group members. The minimum batchSize is 0 and the maximum is 10,000. If none is provided, a default batchSize of 100 will be used.

Returns

DataSubset

Notes

By default, the DataSubset is sorted by groupName, ascending for member groups and by username, ascending for member users. In cases when the function returns both member groups and member users, the returned datasubset lists all groups first, followed by the users.

For member groups, designers can choose to sort on any of the following group attributes:

  • created
  • creator
  • description
  • groupName
  • groupTypeName
  • id
  • lastModified
  • memberPolicyName
  • parentId
  • parentName
  • securityMapName
  • viewingPolicyName

For member users, designers can choose to sort on any of the following user attributes:

  • displayName
  • email
  • firstName
  • lastName
  • middleName
  • username

If the user running the expression does not have permission to see a group or user, then that group or user will not be included in the DataSubset returned by the function. See also: Group Visibility and User Profile Visibility.

Examples

You can copy and paste these examples into the Expression Rule Designer to see how this works.

Given a rule input ri!group of type Group with the following group members:

Direct: {[Group:7] (Group Type: Custom),[Group:8] (Group Type: Custom),[User: patricia.parker],[User: steve.bing]}

Indirect: {[Group:9] (Group Type: Team),[Group:10] (Group Type: Team),[User: john.smith],[User: tim.dove]}
