The following code examples show how to use `ListGroupsForUser`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To list the groups that an IAM user belongs to**  
The following `list-groups-for-user` command displays the groups that the IAM user named `Bob` belongs to.  

```
aws iam list-groups-for-user \
    --user-name Bob
```
Output:  

```
{
    "Groups": [
        {
            "Path": "/",
            "CreateDate": "2013-05-06T01:18:08Z",
            "GroupId": "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE",
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:group/Admin",
            "GroupName": "Admin"
        },
        {
            "Path": "/",
            "CreateDate": "2013-05-06T01:37:28Z",

        }
    ]
