    I found the solution and the below is the code sample for updating the Entity Security Group. The below update the Display Group for an entity 

     

    'Assign the Display Group 
Dim objWritableMember As WritableMember = BRApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(si, dimTypeId.Entity, EntityName)
objWritableMember.ReadDataGroupUniqueID2 = BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si,ReadDataGroup2).Group.UniqueID
BRapi.Finance.MemberAdmin.SaveMemberInfo(si,True,objWritableMember,False,Nothing,False,Nothing,TriStateBool.FalseValue)

    Some of the APIs are for internal use.

    What are you trying to do, exactly? There is probably an easier way than rummaging through unknown functions.

    Hey JackLacava​ Krishna​ ,

    I am using an Exclusion group on my Entity Read Group 1. However, when I try to pull the member, it is giving me an object reference error. It works fine if the entity Security group is not an exclusion group.

    Regards,

    Dim ExGrpDict As New Dictionary(Of Guid,String)

For Each ExGrp As ExclusionGroup In BRApi.Security.Admin.GetExclusionGroups(si)

          ExGrpDict.Add(ExGrp.UniqueID,ExGrp.Name)

Next

If ExGrpDict.ContainsKey(BrApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(siSource, dimTypeId.Entity,Mem.Member.Name).ReadDataGroupUniqueID) Then
	newRow("ReadDataGroup") =  ExGrpDict(BrApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(siSource,dimTypeId.Entity,Mem.Member.Name).ReadDataGroupUniqueID)
Else 
	newRow("ReadDataGroup") =  BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroupInfoEx(siSource,BrApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(siSource, dimTypeId.Entity,Mem.Member.Name).ReadDataGroupUniqueID).GroupInfo.Group.Name
End If

    I used another approach to achieve this as 
    BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroupInfoEx(siSource,BrApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(siSource, dimTypeId.Entity,Mem.Member.Name).ReadDataGroupUniqueID).GroupInfo.Group.Name
    as the line as not giving me the Exclusion group name and was throwing and Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
