1769541 - Update group permission needed to view the groups a user is a member of using the REST API

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I am working on a feature for autonag that requires checking if a user has canconfirm permissions. However, my account does not have permission to check the groups for other users, which prevents me from testing the code locally.

Could you please grant me the required permissions to access the user groups?

Sorry for late reply. After looking at the code, we wrap the ability to see the users permission groups via API to membership in the 'editusers' group. I will need to push a code change to change the group to something else less powerful. We do not give out 'editusers' to very many people. I will create a new group that can be used specifically for viewing permissions groups using the API call.
