Say I have a userID, and that user is logged in in my FB application, and I also have the group id.
I'm writing a JS frontend application, and can't find a simple way to confirm if the user belongs to the group.
Many thanks.

[This](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10393045/facebook-graph-api-check-if-user-is-a-member-of-a-group-using-php) explains how to do it in php. The details of how to use the API are mentioned in detail – deborah-digges Aug 20 '15 at 15:51

It is not possible anymore, because the user_groups permission is deprecated. You can only get access to groups you manage with user_managed_groups, but i you manage a groupd, you are definitely a member too ;)
Although, you could do it with a group you manage, by using your own User Access Token with user_managed_groups and the /group-id/members endpoint. But there is another problem: You may not get the App Scoped IDs, so you can´t really compare the User IDs.

Thanks, @luschn. Yes, I was reluctantly doing it with /group-id/members. Not good :) – gusaiani Aug 20 '15 at 17:32
