To do this get the list of users from ClientContext.Current.Web.SiteUserInfoList
and then check the ContentType
of each item that is returned to determine what it is.
Checking the content type is not very direct though, because all you actually get back from each item is a ContentTypeID
, which you then have to look-up against the content types of the user list at ClientContext.Current.Web.SiteUserInfoList.ContentTypes
. That look-up will return a ContentType object, and you can read from the Name
property of that object to see what the list item is.
So an over simplified chunk of code to do this would be:
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
...
ClientContext context = ClientContext.Current;
var q = from i in context.Web.SiteUserInfoList.GetItems(new CamlQuery()) select i;
IEnumerable<ListItem> Items = context.LoadQuery(q);
context.ExecuteQueryAsync((s, e) => {
foreach (ListItem i in Items) {
//This is the important bit:
ContentType contenttype = context.Web.SiteUserInfoList.ContentTypes.GetById(i["ContentTypeId"].ToString());
context.Load(contenttype); //It's another query so we have to load it too
switch (contenttype.Name) {
case "SharePointGroup":
//It's a SharePoint group
break;
case "Person":
//It's a user
break;
case "DomainGroup":
//It's an Active Directory Group or Membership Role
break;
default:
//It's a mystery;
break;
}
}
},
(s, e) => { /* Query failed */ }
);
You didn't specify your platform, but I did all of this in Silverlight using the SharePoint client object model. It stands to reason that the same would be possible in JavaScript as well.
