Check if a user belongs to a group.

Hey devs!

We have some logic that runs based on whether or not a user belongs to a specific group. Currently, the only way we can do this is by grabbing all user and group data, and filtering it out clientside. This is a bit of a hassle performance wise.

Could you add some API calls to do this? Ideally, a call like users.IsUserInGroup(mixed userId, int groupId) coupled with a call like users.GetGroupIdFromGroupName(string groupName) would work, but we'll be happy as long as we're not searching through every single user and group to find a match.

Cheers!

Hi,

We are planning to add new methods, Users.GetUserDetails, which would provide the current group ID, Groups.FindGroup, which would return the group ID for a group name, and Groups.GetGroupDetails which would return information from a group ID. This should be available from IMS v6.1.9 onwards.
