Apparently this feature is "missing" in 0.9.840. I don't know what's in the source versions now. I got around this problem by assigning privileges for the group to a page, and then checking for access to that page (less code). Ludovic sent me the following script, which I believe is a more direct answer to your question: Currently there is no xwiki API for groups (it's missing).. But this works: #set($ismember = false) #set($groupdoc = $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.MyGroup")) #set($memberobj = $groupdoc.getObjects("XWiki.XWikiGroups")) #foreach($mobj in $memberobj) #set ($member = $groupdoc.display("member", "view", $mobj)) #if($member == $context.user) #set($ismember = true) #end #end #if($ismember==true) do your stuff #end Don't forget to flush the cache after changing the members in a group. It's another "bug" in 0.9.840.

Could someone provide or point me to examples of this. Thanks! -jeff
