groups in workflow programming

Internewbie

Hello All,

does anyone know a way to get a user's group while instantiating a job/workflow?
I.e. with __VALUE__('iw_user') or __VALUE__('iw_role') i can get username and role of the current user. what i would need now is the (OS) group(s) he belongs to.
I couldnt find it in the variable list but maybe there is a known workaround?

thx 4 any hint

On NT I don't think a user is associated with any single group by default.

On Unix you could use whatever command line tool or other API retrieves a users primary group.

You could use the perl getgrent command and iterate through all the groups and do a pattern match on the $members element that gets returned. There may be an easier way. Also, thsi appears to only be useful on a Solaris environment.
