Hi Team,

we are using rest api to get all user_group
rest api = <sp_site>/_api/web/sitegroups

Using this API, we are getting few user_group only,
but when we are trying to assign asl for any document or directory through SP site, that time we are getting all available user_group.

Regards,
Pankaj Kumar

    Hi @Pankaj Kumar ,

    The api call /_api/web/sitegroups is to get all sharepoint groups in the site.

    If you want to get all the users in your Sharepoint site you can use: /_api/web/siteusers.

    This article would be helpful to you: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/sharepoint-rest-reference/dn531432(v=office.15)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#user-resource

    We are getting only 4 groups but
    when we are checking groups through SP site,

    it is showing different groups also (ACL Testing, can see in above screen shot )
    but we are not getting this group in rest api call
