    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

Thanks Eric! You are Awesome!

I had found the same 1250 as the number it should be and that's what led me down that path. For those looking for the different "WorkflowGroupType" codes, below is where they are.

 

The change from "Nothing" to "String.Empty" did the trick! 

Also for those interested, here is the code that works:

Dim userList As List(Of UserInfo) = BRApi.Workflow.General.GetUsersInWorkflowGroup(si,wfPK,1250, False,String.Empty)

    Thanks for the solution above I was looking for the specific Ids here for the workflowGroupType 

    Though I was looking for some alternate solution here to see the Session user is part of the WF Execution Group for Table views Security.

    BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroupInfoEx(si,BrApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetProfile(si,si.WorkflowClusterPk.ProfileKey).GetAttributeValue(-1,1250).XFConvertToGuid).GroupInfo.Group.Name)
    OR 
    BRApi.Workflow.General.GetUserWorkflowInitInfo(si).WorkflowViewItems(0).UserIsWorkflowExecutor

    Posting this may be can help someone lookup for the specific use case. 🙂

    PS: this is not a solution for the above question but just a similar use case that can help. 🙂
