Hello,

I’m trying to get the full list of groups with name like “GRP\_\*”.

I can see that there is no webservice for that.  
WS getGroup is for only one known group.

I tried graphQL but there is no filter available so I have the full 12 000 group list instead of around 40 like GRP\_\*

{  
groups (page: {number:1 size:1000}){  
hasNextPage  
items{  
name  
}  
}  
}

What can I do ? Am I missing something in my GraphQL query ?

Thanks
