NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
The only way one can get all the members of a particular group is to iterate through all the active users and then use hasGroup function,
we need a function with a signature
getGroupMembers(String token, String groupName)

[CONFSERVER-5358] XML RPC Group/User Management Functions
The XMLRPC doc (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Perl+XML-RPC+client) mentions the method getUserGroups available in the perl module Confluence.pm; but it does not exist.
Please add method to library or remove reference to documentation.
Note: i'm running on Confluence 3.0.2

added a comment - This one would help us a lot too, particularly since we have to manage our group memberships manually via the API instead of directly through ldap because of the lack of support for nested ldap groups in confluence.

private HashMap groupsMembers;
protected void buildGroupMembersList() throws RemoteException {
LOGGER.debug("Building Groups Members list map");
ConfluenceSoapService soapService = getService();
String token = getToken();
String[] allGroups = soapService.getGroups(token);
for (String group : allGroups)
String[] activeUsers = soapService.getActiveUsers(token, true);
for (String user : activeUsers) {
String[] userGroups = soapService.getUserGroups(token, user);
for (String group : userGroups)
}
LOGGER.debug("Finished building map");
}
public void addGroupMember(String group,String user){
ArrayList<String> members = ((ArrayList<String>)groupsMembers.get(group));
if (members!=null)
else
{ //there's no group in the map , add it members = new ArrayList<String>(); members.add(user); groupsMembers.put(group,members); }}
protected String[] getGroupMembers(String groupName) throws RemoteException
{ ArrayList<String> users = (ArrayList<String>) groupsMembers.get(groupName); return users.toArray(new String[users.size()]); }

Thanks for this suggestion. We will try and address this in a future version.

This would help us as well: the method mentioned by Tal Abramson above is pretty slow when you have lots of users. I've got about 3,000 users and a single pass over all of the users takes 4-5 minutes.
We are running Confluence 3.2.
