Check if user belongs to group via Facebook Graph API

Say I have a userID, and that user is logged in in my FB application, and I also have the group id.

I'm writing a JS frontend application, and can't find a simple way to confirm if the user belongs to the group.

Many thanks.

It is not possible anymore, because the user_groups permission is deprecated. You can only get access to groups you manage with user_managed_groups, but i you manage a groupd, you are definitely a member too ;)

Although, you could do it with a group you manage, by using your own User Access Token with user_managed_groups and the /group-id/members endpoint. But there is another problem: You may not get the App Scoped IDs, so you can´t really compare the User IDs.
