If you do not pass a valid group ID number, GET GROUP PROPERTIES returns empty parameters.
After the call, you retrieve the name of the group in the name parameter.
(Binary databases only) The owner of the group is returned in the owner parameter. This parameter always returns 0 in project databases.
If you pass the optional members parameter, the unique ID numbers of the users and groups belonging to the group are returned.
Note for binary databases: Group and user ID values depend on their creator (Designer, Administrator, or affiliated group owner). For more information, please refer to the User and group ID ranges paragraph.
