I don't quite get your specific situation, but I know there is a function in farcryud.cfc (or whatever the default farcry UD is called) that is essentially a 'get users who are in group X' function. Just checked, its farcry/core/packages/security/farcryud.cfc : getGroupUsers().
Additionally, take a look at getProfile as a way of getting the email address from a username. I don't know if that function requires the _CLIENTUD part or not. I think it simply goes through all the UD's until it finds the username... but check the code out.
