      IMS Global has published a candidate final of the Course Groups service: https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-gs/v1p0 (available to IMS members only).

      It's a simple group service allowing a tool to discover the groups created in a course and enriches the names and role provisioning service to optionally include group memberships.

      This card is to cover the implementation of this service in Moodle.

      Given the close association between this service and the existing names and role provisioning service, it is being implemented as a part of the latter and shares the same configuration setting,  That is, if the names and role provisioning service is enabled, access to group information will also be made available.
