Hi,
to get user id or user name (who has created a node) I can use the following code:
$node->uid (for user id)
$node->name (for user name)
But how can I get user group name (or user group id), which is actually log in ? I want to use this code in Content Templates. Thank you for any suggestions.

What kind of user group?
I'm sorry. I want to display
I'm sorry. I want to display a ROLE name. I thought that the "global $user; print $user->roles" code could show me the role name, but I get only "Array" text. "$user->roles[0]" or "$user->roles[1]" don't work too.
Take a look

Group?
Are you using OG? If not, are you talking about "role?"
If you mean role, you can use user_load to get the user's information. Part of that is an array containing their roles.

You're saying "group," does that mean you're using OG? If not, do you mean "role?" You can get the user's role with user_load. The loaded object includes an array of the user's roles.

arg(1)?
how about using arg(1) or arg(2)?
this argument denotes the group id while you're in a group page
