You might know how to list members of a group but you can also list all groups that a person is a member of.

The following call is used for that:http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/people/{id}/groups

The identifier for the person we want to list group memberships for is specified with the {id} parameter.

Here is how to get all group memberships for a user with id abeecher:

$ curl -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic VElDS0VUXzA4ZWI3ZTJlMmMxNzk2NGNhNTFmMGYzMzE4NmNjMmZjOWQ1NmQ1OTM=' 'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/people/abeecher/groups' | jq
