The groupByDisplayName() GraphQL query groups results by a given display name.

For more information on user groups, see the Manage Groups documentation page.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the groupByDisplayName() query field:

graphql
groupByDisplayName(
     displayName: string!
   ): Group!

To be able to get information on a particular group, with this query you have to provide the display name of the group.

For the return value Group, you'll need to specify at least one of its parameters (see the Returned Datatypes section below). Here's an example for more clarity:

Raw
graphql
query{
  groupByDisplayName(displayName: "chiefs") {
    id, users {
      id, username, displayName
    }
  }

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

This example requests first the ID for the group, then a list or array of users in the group. For each user, it calls for the user's ID, the user name, and the display name of the user.

Returned Datatypes

The returned datatype group has its own parameters. Below is a list of them along with their datatypes and a description of each:
