Regarding Buddy Management Service - getAllFriendsInGroup method

Question

I am facing issues in fetching friends present in a group using the following API:

getAllFriendsInGroup(userName,ownerName,groupName)

 

My observations are as follows:

1. If the userName field is same as ownerName of the group, then all friends are retrieved successfully.

2. However, if userName not same as ownerName (is of some other friend in a group), then full friendlist is not retrieved. It returns one member -- Owner name only.

 

Is it as per design that only group owner can fetch all friends in a list? Others cannot?

 

Answer 1

Hi sahil,

If the userName field is same as ownerName of the group, then all friends are retrieved successfully because user himself is owner of group and all members are his friends.

If user is not the owner of group, only list of friends who are in the group will be returned. Incase owner is the only member who is friend of user, only owner will be returned.

 

Let me know if it helps.
