Get groupId from UUID of the group

There is a function from this shared component that will get the uuid of a group for you. forum.appian.com/.../summary

Slight correction: looks like the function was moved to a different shared component "- The getgroupuuid has been removed from this component as it is now available in the People Functions plug-in"

@joshl, Thank you for the reply. But, I need the groupId from the groupUUID (and not the reverse).
The getgroupuuid returns UUID from the group/groupId

Ah I misread your question! Unfortunately, I don't of a method for this off the top of my head.

Chetany - it really depends on the use case for your request. If for one-time (or infrequent) use, you could download the application containing the group, unzip the folder, and search within the XML files for the group uuid. This will provide you additional information around the group in question

The "Content Details by UUID" shared component provides the getcontentdetailsbyuuid function. I frequently use this when investigating deployment issues, for example. However, I've found through testing a few group UUIDs just now that it isn't recognizing group UUIDs: "No object with this UUID has been found."

@Eduardo, can you confirm if the function is configured to search groups? If not, is there another function apt for Chetan's need?

The function cannot be used for groups from my experience. That's why I have resorted to the "find in files" mechanism described above to check the app contents.

@ashvink, Thank you for the reply. However, I need to implement it in the plugin code.
@Jamie, I too first thought that "Content Details By UUID" would help. However, it does not return the information. The reason maybe that "Content Details by UUID" is only for objects which are considered as a Content - which include documents, folders, rules, queryRules,interfaces and constants. But a group is not considered as a Content, and hence ContentDetailsByUUID won't help.

One workaround for you issue is to 1. Grab all groups (getAllGroups() in the group function plugin) 2. Return their uuids (getGroupUUID() in the group function plugin) 3. match the list of uuids with your uuid 4. return the selected group id
