@praveenkumark Hi, to the best of my knowledge neither there is a OOTB functionality nor a shared component (except 'Get application groups', even 'Get application groups' only gets you the groups present in the 'Application' object) to do this. This should be built by us infact, by maintaining the application groups information in the database or in the expression rules or constants as an array. And re the 'Get application groups' shared component - as long as your environment in on cloud, Appian would be able to support it on need basis by removing the deprecated functions (if any) and will offer the same functionality.
An other simple way of doing the same is to create a group by name '
All Users' and make sure that any group created newly in the Application either becomes a direct or indirect child of the '
All Users' group. Now you can read the attributes of '
All Users' by using People functions(at https://forum.appian.com/suite/tempo/records/type/components/item/i0BCLGOdlMUpdGVqT-RV7oRg74uEGJO7MQ8lm4tmJLMp94GacLswVsmKlY5dOs/view/summary) which will result you in desired information such as groups present in a Application, users present in Application etc. I would generally recommend this.
