    string [] currentGrp;
    currentGrp = addElement(currentGrp, group);
    for(string user in usersInGroups(currentGrp)){
      users = addElementIfNotExist(users, usernameToUserKey(user));
    }
  }
  return users;
}
 
 
string [] groups = {"jira-users"};
string [] users = getUsers(groups);
string [] res;
for (string user in users) {
    if (contains(user, argv["query"])) {	
    	res = addElementIfNotExist(res, user); 
    }
