# Method name: getGroup(groupId: string, options: Options)

# Method package: wixGroupsBackend

# Method menu location: wixGroupsBackend --> Groups --> getGroup

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-backend/groups/get-group.md

# Method Description:

Gets a group by ID.

The `getGroup()` function returns a Promise that resolves to a group whose ID matches the given ID.

> **Note:** For `SECRET` groups, only site admins, group admins, and group members can see a group and its content. However, if the `suppressAuth` option is set to `true`, all permissions are overwritten, and all site members (including non-group members) can see a group and its content.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Get a group by ID

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { groups } from 'wix-groups-backend';

// Sample groupId value:
// 'fc3df3c1-36b2-4279-8be1-8e72a05a88c8'
//
// Sample options value:
// {
//   suppressAuth: true
// }

export const myGetGroupFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async (groupId, options) => {
  try {
    const getGroupResults = await groups.getGroup(groupId, options);
    const getGroupResultsName = getGroupResults.name;
    const getGroupResultsDescription = getGroupResults.description;
    return getGroupResults;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
});
