Doug,
This command will return a colon-separated list of active groups to which
the current user belongs.
$groups = &EXT('user.course.groups');
similar to &EXT('user.course.sec') for the current section, except unlike a
section, where a user's session can only have a single section active at any
time, a user can be a member of multiple groups.
Note: if you have just added yourself to a group, click "Check for Changes"
in the gray Functions bar on your roles screen to update your session with
information about your new group membership.

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] Is there an EXT for group membership?
Hi All,
I am looking at the wonderful examples page for the powerful &EXT()
functions in Lon-Capa
(https://s10.lite.msu.edu/res/msu/albertel/test/ext_examples.problem#0) but not
seeing anything that would return the name of a group that the student is a
part of. I've made use of the section information before and am wondering if
there is no function that returns group membership or if it just isn't listed
on this page? I've tried (analogous to the section function)
$group=&EXT("user.course.grp");
and
$group=&EXT("user.course.group");
Is there something like this also in Lon-Capa or some other way to
determine in the context of a problem if a student has been added to a specific
group or not?
Thanks,
Doug
