Usage considerations

Returns true when the user belongs to the specified group, except when security rules prohibit users from knowing this information.

A high privacy group is passed in AND
A user other than the logged in user is passed in AND
The function is executed within the context of a basic user who is not an administrator of the high privacy group

A basic user is not allowed to know whether another user is a member of such groups.
