Thanks for the help, I actually figured it out. It turned out that portal.portal_groups.getGroupById("staff").getGroupUsers() was the solution. However, the getGroupUsers() function returns a list of users, but not as strings. So I had to convert the entire call with str() in order to run a comparison.
So in the end this is how I achieved what I needed:
portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getId() not in \ str(portal.portal_groups.getGroupById("staff").getGroupUsers())
The 'getGroupUsers' is not a good idea in a CMF environment. You should use the methods from the group tools. Like the ones I mentioned by name. One of them even does exactly what you want::
context.portal_groups.getGroupById('group1').getGroupMemberIds()

I'm trying to work on a function call using Python that will list the users of any specified group using the function portal_groups.
I've been able to successfully do this the opposite way by getting the
users groups via portal_membership:
portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getGroups()
Which will return all groups this user is associated with.
So I've been testing using portal_groups with function calls similar
to
this:
portal.portal_groups.getGroupById("staff").getUsers()
Where "staff" is the name of the group. This almost does what I need, but not quite close enough because it lists all groups and all users.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!
It acquires 'getUsers' from somewhere, I guess.
Group objects have 'getGroupMemberIds' and 'getGroupMembers' methods. You can see this in Products.GroupUserFolder.GroupDataTool.GroupData. the Products.GroupUserFolder.interfaces.portal_groupdata is a bit cleaner, but seems a little behind the times, as it's missing 'getGroupMemberIds'.
Note that this isn't a good topic for zope-dev, but more for plone-users.
