Take name of a GROUP
Junior Member Posts: 31 Join Date: 10/29/18 Recent Posts

I want take the name of a GROUP where a user or Admin belong.

EXAMPLE: Group(A;B;C;D)

User Nicolas belong to group named A, I want take value A;

 

I prove this way but not have a desired result because this is the id and i want the name:

User currentUser = PortalUtil.getUser(request);

currentUser.getGroup().getGroupId();

I'm assuming that you're looking for a UserGroup? Note that "Group" is the API name for Sites and similar collections of content - as the User API also has getGroup (like you stated), this is the user's personal group (read: site). I currently have no good option to look up the API, before my answer is slightly off: you'll need to look for the "UserGroup*" API, e.g. UserGroupLocalService or UserGroupService

Yes it's UserGroup.

I prove this API UserGroupLocalService or UserGroupService but I don't get the name of group where user belong.

Example:

1- take a user e.g MARIO ROSSI

2- NAME GROUP USERS who mario belong is Administrative process, my result must be:  Administrative process

Reguard to everyone.

It sounds like you'll want to read the User Groups section of the administrator guide in order to better understand the difference between a Group and a UserGroup. Essentially, you're calling user.getGroup(), which returns an object representing the user's personal site, which is not what you're looking for at all.

Given what you've stated, you want UserGroupLocalService.getUserUserGroups(long), which provides a list of the user's UserGroup memberships.

List userGroups = userGroupLocalService.getUserUserGroups(user.getUserId());

for (UserGroup userGroup : userGroups) {
    System.out.println(userGroup.getName());
}
