SharePoint 2010 - REST - retrieve group members

Question

I am building a form using REST and am trying to create a drop down based on a person/group field.

'..ListData.svc/listNameFieldName' does not seem to work for those field types and accessing '..ListData.svc/UserInformationList' does not identify group members.

Is there a way for me to access this information via REST? If not, would using JSOM/SPServices provide a solution?

Answer 1

You can get below REST method to get users from the group.

GET request example: Get the users in a group

executor.executeAsync({
  url: "<app web url>/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web
    /sitegroups(7)/users
    ?@target='<host web url>'",
  method: "GET",
  headers: { "accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
  success: successHandler,
  error: errorHandler
});
