Get the users from the subgroups of a group

Hi ,

Is there a way to customize the web scripts , so that when I request the users of a group , all the users , including the ones from the group's subgroups will be returned ?
For example , I have a group called G1 which has two subgroups , SG1 and SG2.
SG1 has the users User1 , User2 and User3.
SG1 has the users User4 , User5 and User6.

If I use the GET /alfresco/service/api/groups/G1/children api , Alfresco will return SG1 and SG2.
Is there a way to make a similar api that returns for the G1 group User1…User6 ?

Thanks in advance,
Andrei

Yes the authority service can return all users rather than just the immediate users   There's a boolean flag to say whether it's just immediate children that are required.    I think this is already exposed on the Java Script API.

Its entirely possible to expose this via REST,  just be careful of how you handle large result sets which need to be paged before considering this change.
