|  | === List Groups | 
|  | -- | 
|  | 'GET /groups/' | 
|  | -- | 
|  |  | 
|  | Lists the groups accessible by the caller. This is the same as | 
|  | using the link:cmd-ls-groups.html[ls-groups] command over SSH, | 
|  | and accepts the same options as query parameters. | 
|  |  | 
|  | As result a map is returned that maps the group names to | 
|  | link:#group-info[GroupInfo] entries. The entries in the map are sorted | 
|  | by group name. |

|  | ==== Group Options | 
|  | Additional fields can be obtained by adding `o` parameters, each option | 
|  | requires more lookups and slows down the query response time to the | 
|  | client so they are generally disabled by default. Optional fields are: | 
|  |  | 
|  | [[includes]] | 
|  | -- | 
|  | * `INCLUDES`: include list of directly included groups. | 
|  | -- | 
|  |  | 
|  | [[members]] | 
|  | -- | 
|  | * `MEMBERS`: include list of direct group members. | 
|  | -- | 
|  |  | 
|  | ==== Check if a group is owned by the calling user | 
|  | By setting the option `owned` and specifying a group to inspect with | 
|  | the option `q`, it is possible to find out, if this group is owned by | 
|  | the calling user. |
