Hello,  
I’m new to keycloak and trying to use the webservises (REST API) in order to build up an adapter to retrieve users, groups, roles, …  
Based on the [documentation](https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/12.0/rest-api/index.html#_userrepresentation), we’re supposed to get a **groups** attribute in the users returned but we can’t see it.

```
   [
    {
        "id": "43142a9d-7027-48a7-9112-4c3b5127730d",
        "createdTimestamp": 1612782098658,
        "username": "norbert.miera",
        "enabled": true,
        "totp": false,
        "emailVerified": true,
        "firstName": "Norbert",
        "lastName": "Miera",
        "email": "norbert.miera@demo.com",
        "disableableCredentialTypes": [],
        "requiredActions": [
            "UPDATE_PROFILE"
        ],
        "notBefore": 0,
        "access": {
            "manageGroupMembership": true,
            "view": true,
            "mapRoles": true,
            "impersonate": true,
            "manage": true
        }
    }
]

```

Do you have any tips / advice / userguide on how to get this information?

Thanks in advance !

have the same issue.  
The strange thing that the group attribute appears in the token ( after i created a mapper for that), but i still cannot get the group attribute when using the Admin API.

What should i do in order to get the group attributes in the GET /{realm}/users api
