AEM6.5 how to get user details and the groups the user is associated to in author environment

Hi,

 

Once any user  logs in to the author environment how could I get the details of the groups the user is member of.

 

I am using js so wanted to check if there is any json available through which I could get this details. Instead of me building a new code for this.

 

I noticed that for authorizables.json  we need to provide the username.

http://localhost:4502/bin/security/authorizables.json?filter=username&_charset_=utf-8

 

Now if is the case i would need a way to find the user name in the js and then again send the request. 

 

Please let me know as I could resolve this in a better way .

 

 

Thanks

@srinivas_chann1 

In js, you can get the user as Granite.author.ContentFrame.getUserID()

Please refer to the function getUserGroups() here:

    I did the below to solve the issue 

     

     

    function getLoggedInUserID() {
    var currentUserId = "";
    var currentUserInfo;
    var CURRENT_USER_JSON_PATH = Granite.HTTP.externalize('/libs/granite/security/currentuser.json');
    var result = Granite.$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    async: false,
    url: CURRENT_USER_JSON_PATH
    });

    if (result.status === 200) {
    currentUserInfo = JSON.parse(result.responseText);
    currentUserId = currentUserInfo.authorizableId;
    }
    return currentUserId;
    }

     

     

    function getUserGroups(userID){

    var isMemberOfGroupEveryOne=false;

    $.ajax({
    url: "/bin/security/authorizables.json?filter=" + userID +'&_charset_=utf-8',
    async: false,
    success: function(result) {


    if (result) {
    $.each(result.authorizables,function(index,authObj){


    if( (authObj.id !== userID)){
    return;
    }else {

    $.each(authObj.memberOf,function(index,memberOf){
    if(memberOf.id === 'everyone'){
    isMemberOfGroupEveryOne=true;
    }
    });


    }

    });
    }

    }
    });

     


    return isMemberOfGroupEveryOne;
    }

      @srinivas_chann1 

      I would suggest using the service user to get the details of AEM user/groups. Make use of Authorizable API

      https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-5/sites/developing/using/reference-materials/javadoc/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/security/user/Authorizable.html 

       

      see the following code snippet

       

       

      public static Group getGroup(String userId, UserManager userManager) { try { return (Group) userManager.getAuthorizable(userId); } catch (RepositoryException e) { logger.error("Error {}", e); } return null; }
