Find All The Sharepoint Groups For Which a User Belongs

As the size of share point application grows on with more and more sites and sub sites number of share point groups also increases proportionately. In most of these cases it becomes extremely difficult for site administrators to identify which all groups a particular user belongs. Share point as such doesn’t provide an interface or a place in-built where we can list all the groups a particular user belongs. Many of the customers with which we are working came up asking for a solution which solves this.

Share point’s SPUser object has a property called SPUser.Groups which returns a SPGroupCollection which gives the collection of groups of which the user is a member.
