    workflowGroupType corresponds to the workflow profile attribute index, not too sure why 1250 is erroring out on you, as that's the exact index for the Workflow Execution Group.

    Also, probably better to set your text1Filter to `String.Empty` or `""` instead of `Nothing` since the function is expecting to parse a string, not an object.

    Maybe try different groups to check.

    Also for reference:

    Certification Sign Off Group = 16100

    Workflow Execution Group = 1250

So in this case you'd want all users right? Would using the "GetUsers" BRAPI work for you? 

objList = BRApi.Security.Admin.GetUsers(si)

That's the idea yes, however you also have a "nobody" group which also returns 0 users (obviously 😀 ) ... is there a way to just get the group and not the users within the group ?

     Sergey ,

           Brapi.Security.Admin.GetGroupInfoEx(si,Brapi.Workflow.Metadata.GetProfile(Si,"ProfileName").AccessGroupUniqueID).GroupInfo.Group.Name  ' can use attribute Index for other groups

    Dim workflowExecutionGroupGuid As Guid = 
	Guid.Parse(
		BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.
		GetProfile(si, si.WorkflowClusterPk.ProfileKey).
		GetAttribute(
			ScenarioType.Administration.Id, 
			SharedConstants.WorkflowProfileAttributeIndexes.WorkflowExecutionGroup
		).Value
	)
					
Dim groupName As String = 
	BRApi.Security.Admin.
	GetGroupInfoEx(si, workflowExecutionGroupGuid).
	GroupInfo.Group.Name

    Replace the profile key with a manually obtained profile key (or leave it if your business rule is driven by workflow selection).

    Replace ScenarioType with your relevant scenario type set on the workflow.

    If the scenario type's Workflow Execution Group is set to "Everyone", this group name should return everyone. Similarly, it will return "Nobody", if it is set to that.

    Looking into this, it also bothered me that I didn't know where these constant attributes were defined, so I went searching. And apparently they are here:
