The Socialcast Group Expansion accepts group expansion request containing a username and provides a list of groups to which the user belongs in a group expansion result.

This component uses the Restful API from Socialcast to fetch user group information. All group information is cached, so further group expansion requests won't make unnecessary calls to the Socialcast server.

This component is based on the Simple Group Expander
