I want group membership of user of type system administrator. I used

Hi Kaushik,
You can first find out all users who are system administrator in your org, by the out of the box user attribute available to the Appian User object, which is "userTypeName". Once you have the list of these users with you - you can then find out their respective group membership.

I do not believe there is a function to return the groups for which a system admin is an administrator. A system admin can perform the functions of an admin for every group, even if they are not explicitly added as an admin, so there usually isn't a need to return that list of groups. You can use the function isUserSystemAdministrator() to first check if the user is a system admin before running the getgroupsforadminuser() to ensure you don't get the system groups in your results.

Can you store the list of system groups in a constant, run your query, and then take the difference? You can capture this logic in an expression rule for reuse.

kaushikr I might be wrong but it seems like the API functions that get the groups by role are shipped with the limitation as per the documentation and so I opine that there can't be much we can do. And my views are inline with those said by @lakshmim.

@lakshmim @sikhivahans thanks for response.
even if i use function isUserSystemAdministrator() for not getting system groups how can i achieve my result to get list of groups that given user is an administrator.

Is it mean that i can't get groups at all for which a system admin is an administrato?

@kaushikr Yep, the requirement of yours may not be achieved with the available OOTB functionalities or Shared Components.

Generally we look for API in these kind of situations in order to check for possibility of building a Shared Component, but at a high level, it's seeming to me that even the API functions are placing the limitation. The documentation at https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/16.2/api/com/appiancorp/suiteapi/personalization/GroupService.html#getGroupIdsForUserByRole-java.lang.String-java.lang.Integer- or https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/16.2/api/com/appiancorp/suiteapi/personalization/GroupService.html#getGroupsForUserByRole-java.lang.String-java.lang.Integer- indicates the same. Anyhow I am adding Eduardo as a participant to this post, so I believe he would be able to confirm on this.

@sikhivahans thanks for your help

@ kaushikr276
You got any solution for it ?

@venkateshs329 No, I didn't get any solution for this :(

To determine the system admins, you can run the following expression:

=load(
local!designerUsers: getdistinctusers(getgroupbyname("Designers")),
local!adminUsers: apply(fn!isusersystemadministrator,local!designerUsers),
index(local!designerUsers,where(local!adminUsers),{})
)

The default Designers group contains all system admins by rule, but non-admin users can be added to the group so the second step is needed.
