Getting the Owner of a Group

You can get the group owner with the getOwner() method.

Note that the KiiUser instance returned by the method only contains the ID. Execute the refresh() method to get the user's latest information from Kii Cloud.

If the returned user is different from the logged-in user, available user information is limited. For more information, see User Attributes.

The following sample code shows how to get the group owner.

  • // Get the owner user of members of the group.
    group.getOwner().then(
      function(params) {
        var group = params[0];
        var owner = params[1];
        // Refresh the owner to retrieve the latest data from Kii Cloud.
        return owner.refresh();
      }
    ).then(
      function(owner) {
        // Do something.
      }
    ).catch(
      function(error) {
        // Handle the error.
    
        // Get the group for the failed getOwner() method.
        var thrGroup = error.target;
        // Get the user for the failed refresh() method.
        var theUser = error.target;
        // Get the error message.
        var errorString = error.message;
      }
    );
  • // Get the owner user of the group.
    group.getOwner({
      success: function(theGroup, owner) {
        // Refresh the owner to retrieve the latest data from Kii Cloud.
        owner.refresh({
          success: function(theUser) {
            // Do something.
          },
          failure: function(theUser, errorString) {
            // Handle the error.
          }
        });
      },
      failure: function(theGroup, errorString) {
        // Handle the error.
      }
    });
