Please check the below curl command example which invokes list-parents endpoint from the Groups API. It can be extended/modified based on the requirements.

It retrieves all groups in which a given user or group is a member. 

This method is non-recursive; it returns all groups in which the given user or group is a member but not the groups in which those groups are members. 

Example:

curl --netrc -X GET \

https://xxxxx.cloud.databricks.com/api/2.0/groups/list-parents \

--data '{ "user_name": "someone@example.com" }' \

| jq .

Hi there is groups API.

https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/api/latest/groups.html

There is example API call to list members of the group:

curl --netrc -X GET \
https://dbc-a1b2345c-d6e7.cloud.databricks.com/api/2.0/groups/list-members \
--data '{ "group_name": "reporting-department" }' \
| jq .

Hi @Hubert Dudek​ the API list-members will list all the members of the group, but here the question is to list all the groups of a user. So list-parents is the API to be used. This will give all groups in which a given user or group is a member.
