I set/get the User Group of a Liferay user. As an admin, I assigned a user to a user group. I've even check the user's profile to make sure it was assigned to him, and it was. Now in my portlet, I am able to get the user no problem, but the following method is saying that the user isn't assigned to a User Group...

1List<Group> groups = GroupLocalServiceUtil.getUserGroups(user.getUserId());
2System.out.println("Group count: "+groups.size());

Which prints out:

1Group count: 0

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...it may be the way I'm assigning the user to the group, or the way I'm retrieving the group. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You're looking at the wrong method.

To get group which a user is assigned to, just get the user and just doe getGroups()

User user= themeDisplay.getUser();
List<Group> groups = user.getGroups();

I've tried this and am having the same problem. That list is also empty. Any other ideas?

Hi Ken,

You can get all the userGroup assigned to particular user using getUserUserGroups method of UserGroupLocalServiceUtil.

1List<UserGroup> userGroups = UserGroupLocalServiceUtil.getUserUserGroups(themeDisplay.getUserId());

HTH.

GroupLocalServiceUtil.getGroups () will return you the logical group of the user, group id of the communities, organization that user belongs to.

GroupLocalServiceUtil.getUserGroups () will return the user groups - which is the grouping of users done for role assignment/authorization purpose.

I've tried all of these methods with no success. Perhaps I'm not setting the user group correctly? Even though it shows up in the profile...what am I doing wrong?

Sorry, you wanted user groups instead of just groups. Tested and worked properly for me with Liferay 6.1.0 CE

User user3 = themeDisplay.getUser();
long[] groups = user3.getUserGroupIds();
System.out.println("groups.size:" + groups.length);
System.out.println("userGroup:" + UserGroupLocalServiceUtil.getUserGroup(groups[0]).getName());
