Thanks for the help, I actually figured it out. It turned out that
portal.portal_groups.getGroupById(staff).getGroupUsers() was the
solution. However, the getGroupUsers() function returns a list of
users, but not as strings. So I had to convert the entire call with
str() in order to run a comparison.
So in the end this is how I achieved what I needed:
portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getId() not in \
str(portal.portal_groups.getGroupById(staff).getGroupUsers())
The 'getGroupUsers' is not a good idea in a CMF environment. You should
use the methods from the group tools. Like the ones I mentioned by name.
One of them even does exactly what you want::
context.portal_groups.getGroupById('group1').getGroupMemberIds()

[Zope-dev] Listing a groups users via Python and portal_groups
Hi guys, Im trying to work on a function call using Python that will list the users of any specified group using the function portal_groups. Ive been able to successfully do this the opposite way by getting the users groups via portal_membership: portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getGroups() Which will return all groups this user is associated with. So Ive been testing using portal_groups with function calls similar to this: portal.portal_groups.getGroupById(staff).getUsers() Where staff is the name of the group. This almost does what I need, but not quite close enough because it lists all groups and all users. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!
