Get group name of the Current User

Question

Hi,

I'm using infopath 2010.I tried to get current user's group name using web service called "GroupInfo" by creating data connection to "http://servername/_vti_bin/usergroup.asmx".But I can't create access this web service and give the error below.

"The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
<detail><errorstring xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">The parameter name cannot be empty or bigger than 255 characters."

I'm appreciate your help......

Hi,

How you are getting group name? It seems to that parameter passing to web service is empty. you need to modify the GetUserCollectionFromGroupX.xsd file.

Please follow the below blog:
