Check if current user is member of a SharePoint group using JQuery

Scenario

This code will help you to check if the current user is a member of a group.

Suppose you want to check if the current user is member of a Owners group or not. Just update the "grpName" variable value and run the code 😎

Steps to use the code

1. Use the Script Editor web part and add this code to check if a user is in a SP group 

2. Or use this code as a reference in a Content Editor web part

3. Use this script as a reference in a SharePoint custom list forms or in any SP pages

Code

$(document).ready(function (e) {

    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup, "sp.js");
});

function IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup() {
    var grpName = "Site Owners";
    var userInGroup;
    var currentContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var currentWeb = currentContext.get_web();

    var currentUser = currentContext.get_web().get_currentUser();
    currentContext.load(currentUser);

    var allGroups = currentWeb.get_siteGroups();
    currentContext.load(allGroups);

    var group = allGroups.getByName(grpName);
    currentContext.load(group);

    var groupUsers = group.get_users();
    currentContext.load(groupUsers);

    currentContext.executeQueryAsync(OnSuccess, OnFailure);

    function OnSuccess(sender, args) {

        var groupUserEnumerator = groupUsers.getEnumerator();
        while (groupUserEnumerator.moveNext()) {
            var groupUser = groupUserEnumerator.get_current();
            if (groupUser.get_id() == currentUser.get_id()) {
                userInGroup = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (userInGroup) {
            //alert("user exists in the group");
            //do some operation.
        }

        else {
            //alert("user doestn't exist in the group");
        }

    }

    function OnFailure(sender, args) {
        //error message.
    }
}

Happy coding!!!

Programmatically get SharePoint Users with Group Name

In this article, we will come to know how to list all the users from the SharePoint site using c#.

Scenario:

We have to retrieve all the Users from the SharePoint site with the Group Name using object model.

Solution:

I have created a console application which will group the users with the Group Name and also display the User details.
Code (.cs):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Microsoft.SharePoint; namespace UserPermissions_Console { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { try { GetUsersGroups(); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("Error Occured: " + ex.Message); } } private static void GetUserRoles() { using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sitename")) { SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(); Console.WriteLine("\n\n Roles Assignments:"); foreach (SPRoleAssignment roleA in web.RoleAssignments) { Console.WriteLine("The following Role definition bindings exist for" + roleA.Member.Name); foreach (SPRoleDefinition roledef in roleA.RoleDefinitionBindings) { Console.WriteLine(roledef.Name); } } Console.ReadLine(); } } private static void GetUsersGroups() { using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sitename")) { SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(); SPGroupCollection groupCollection = web.SiteGroups; foreach (SPGroup group in groupCollection) { SPUserCollection userCollection = group.Users; Console.WriteLine("Group Name :" + group.Name+"\n"); foreach (SPUser user in userCollection) { Console.WriteLine("User Name: " + user.Name + " Email: " + user.Email + " Login: " + user.LoginName); } } //Iterate the owners group SPGroup ownerGroup = web.AssociatedOwnerGroup; foreach (SPUser ownerUser in ownerGroup.Users) { Console.WriteLine("User Name: " + ownerUser.Name + " Email: " + ownerUser.Email + " Login: " + ownerUser.LoginName); } } Console.ReadLine(); } } }

Export SharePoint User Groups in Excel

In this article, we are going to discuss about a SharePoint tip which is not present in the User Groups by default.

Scenario:

From any list in the SharePoint, you can export the whole list in to a excel file or you can edit and save the excel file.

But is that possible in SharePoint User Groups?

Yes, it is possible.
Solution:

1. Go to Site Settings (http://sitname/_layouts/settings.aspx) -> Under Users and Permissions Select People and groups 

2. You will be seeing a URL like this http://sitname/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=5

3. Then navigate to the List Settings in the people and groups of a particular group which you want to export to the excel file

4. Now, in the URL you will see like this:

http://sitname/_layouts/listedit.aspx?List=72bcbfee-c10e-41ba-b128-2769c8fe9cc9&Source=%2Fpeople%2Easpx%3FMembershipGroupId%3D5
5. If you want you retrieve the users list from any view, then click on the view from the views list as shown below:
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the view you want to export

6.Now, copy the URL from the address bar and keep it in a notepad which is something like below:
http:// sitname /_layouts/ViewEdit.aspx?List=%7B72BCBFEE%2DC10E%2D41BA%2DB128%2D2769C8FE9CC9%7D&View=%7B4A52DE00%2D9B7C%2D4FDC%2DAC39%2D960FDF18F1F3%7D&Source=%252F%255Flayouts%252Flistedit%252Easpx%253FList%253D72bcbfee%252Dc10e%252D41ba%252Db128%252D2769c8fe9cc9%2526Source%255Flayouts%25252Fpeople%25252Easpx%25253FMembershipGroupId%25253D5

From the above URL, we have to copy the LIST ID and VIEW ID (marked bold in the above URL)

7. Now, we can easily export the people and groups in to excel using the following dll from the SharePoint server.

http://[sitename]/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=[LISTID]&View=[VIEWID]&CacheControl=1

8. Now, replace the site name, LIST ID and VIEWID in the above URL:

I will get the final URL as:

http://sitename/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=%7B64DAB4AC%2DD043%2D4DA4%2D85C7%2D9D4521C3F4CC%7D&View=%7B0FAE8D90%2D59D5%2D48F4%2DA54E%2DF02333777C7F%7D&CacheControl=1

Note:

To know more about the owssvr.dll please read this article

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd588689(v=office.11).aspx

Open the above URL in the address bar, you will get an option to save an EXCEL FILE.

9. Open the Excel file, you will be asked for authentication, enable the external content and open it.

10. That’s it. You will see all the users in the groups with their details exported to the excel file.
11. This excel file exported using this method has all the users from the user groups but it is not filtered by user group name.
