Which API to use to list groups in which a given user is a member

[rpl]

Is there an API that can be used to list groups in which a given user is a member? Specifically, I’d be interested in account (not workspace) groups.

It seems there used to be a workspace-level list-parents API referred to in the answers to this question. The current documentation, however, does not seem to mention list-parents – has it been deprecated?

I know I can get the required info by listing each group's users and parsing the response, but that’s rather tedious. Is there an API for this I haven’t found?

Hello @rpl,

You can explore this API: https://docs.databricks.com/api/workspace/users/get which would return an attribute (“groups”) showing the groups a user belongs to at the account level

Thanks! But this doesn’t do what I need. It is a workspace-level API that AFAIU returns info on groups that grant the user privileges to the workspace itself, probably also workspace-specific objects like secret scopes, folders etc. If the (account-level) user does not have privileges to he workspace in question, the API returns 404.

What i'm looking for is listing all account-level groups the user is a member in, including groups used to grant privileges to Unity Catalog securable objects. I also don’t necessarily know what workspaces (if any) the user has privileges to when i'm making the query.
