I would like to use the following code to iterate through the users in Javascript in Alfresco v2.1.

 var peeps = people.getMembers(people.getGroup("GROUP_EVERYONE"));‍

However, people.getGroup("GROUP_EVERYONE") doesn't seem to return anything.  I have tried several variations on the capitalization.  Is there a special way to refer to GROUP_EVERYONE or another way to get all users?

Hi,

GROUP_EVERYONE is special type of Authority. You won't find this in the web client group management when you try to list all available groups . There is a sample webscript called getUsers to search for users.

getUsers.get.js

var query = "TYPE:\"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}person\"";

if ((args.s) && (args.s != ""))
{
   query += " AND (";
   var terms = args.s.split(" ");
   for (i = 0; i < terms.length; i++)
   {
      term = terms[i];
      query += "((@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}firstName:*" + term;
      query += "*) OR (@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}lastName:*" + term;
      query += "*) OR (@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}userName:" + term;
      query += "*)) ";   // final space here is important as default OR separator
   }
   query += ")";
}

model.searchResults = search.luceneSearch(query);

For your purpose to get all users you could just do a lucene search for all nodes of type Person and manipulate the result as you like.

var query = "TYPE:\"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}person\"";
model.searchResults = search.luceneSearch(query);
