------------------------------------------------------------------  
function IsUserInGroup ( sGroup )

    PBXScript.OutputTrace ("----------> IsUserInGroup ( " .. sGroup .. " )")

    local bReturn = false
    local oUsers  = nil

    oUsers = PBXScript.GetUserByAddress(sGroup)
    if (oUsers ~= nil) then

        for i = 1, #oUsers do

            PBXScript.OutputTrace ("Found user '" .. oUsers[i]:Name() .. "'")
            
            if (oUsers[i]:Name() == PBXUser.Name()) then
                PBXScript.OutputTrace ("Current script user '" .. PBXUser.Name() .. "' is member of the group '" .. sGroup .. "'!")
                bReturn = true
            end
        end
    end 

    PBXScript.OutputTrace ("bReturn = " .. tostring(bReturn))
    PBXScript.OutputTrace ("<---------- IsUserInGroup")

    return bReturn
end

This function makes use of the Server Script API functions PBXConfig.GetUserByAddress() to resolve all users in the given group and PBXUser.Name() to get the name of the current script user. It also uses PBXScript.OutputTrace() to write trace information into the SwyxServer trace file.

This function was converted from VBScript into Lua from the initially posted version in this forum topic.
