Check if list as value(with atleast one element) exists in dictionary and return it

I have a following dictionary:

dict1 = {'Diacto Group': {'id': 7547,
                  'type': 'user',
                  'name': 'Diacto Group',
                  'filters': [{'column': 'Core Area',
                  'values': ['Missiles & Aviation Technology'],
                  'operator': 'EQUALS',
                  'not': False}],
                  'users': [],
                  'virtualUsers': [],
                  'groups': [360305499]},
 'Diacto People': {'id': 7548,
                   'type': 'user',
                   'name': 'Diacto People',
                   'filters': [{'column': 'Core Area',
                   'values': ['Aircraft Company', 'Aviation Technology'],
                   'operator': 'EQUALS',
                   'not': False}],
                   'users': [326197441, 1293859642],
                   'virtualUsers': [],
                   'groups': []},
}

Basically I want to extract either one of the lists from 'users' or 'groups' if they have list containing atleast one value. I want the final output to look like this:

l1 = [# Extracted list as value from 'group' key from Diacto Group key as users key was blank 
      # list.
      [360305499],                
      # Extracted list as value from 'users' key from Diacto People key as groups key was 
      # blank list.
      [326197441, 1293859642]
     ]

List comprehension would be more preferable if possible. Thank you for the efforts and time you put into this.

Using list comprehension and filtering out cases where both "users" and "groups" are empty:

l1 = [v["users"]+v["groups"] for _, v in dict1.items() if v["users"]+v["groups"]]

The simplest I can think of with comprehension, provided either 'users' or 'groups' is not empty:

[v['users']+v['groups'] for v in dict1.values()]

I think it would be possible to do with list comprehension, but extremely difficult to understand.

This would be my approach:

l1 = []
for k in dict1:
    if len(dict1[k]['users']) > 0:
        l1.append(dict1[k]['users'])
    if len(dict1[k]['groups']) > 0:
        l1.append(dict1[k]['groups'])
print(l1)
