User Group Checking with SOAP

[srinivasp]

In UserUtil, Group and User objects, i dont see any approved method which checks whether a user exists in a specific group. Is thre any other way to find this?

Hi Srinivas, Not quite sure if you are talking about server side checks. if you write code on the server side you might use http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/security/groups/GroupManager.html There is A isUserInGroup method for user/groups specified as string or crowd objects

Hi Dieter, Thanks for your information. Can you tell me how can i get a GroupManager reference for accessing that method?

ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(GroupManager.class) You still need to cast this to GroupManager

Thanks Dieter..
