Question

Hi All,

How to Check if a user is a member in a SharePoint group within web InfoPath 2013?

Answer 1

You will have to utilize the User Profile Service for this.

Take a look at the below website which walks you through the process.

For Infopath 2013, User Profile Service not working perfectly. Actually it is works on preview, once it published then facing "An error occurred querying a data source". How to fix this?

Hi Sam,

Confirm that you have given the Service Account adequate permissions to your Active Directory.

In instances like this its best to delete your User Profile Service application and rebuild it again. I highly recommend you refer to Steve Harbar's article. It was built for SharePoint 2010 but works just as well for 2013.
