# Look up permission groups in Notion MCP

By Steven Van · 2026-10-14

Assistants can resolve group IDs in People properties to names, or find a group by name before setting it.

The new notion-get-groups tool in [Notion](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/notion>) MCP lists the permission groups a user can see, returning each group’s ID and name.

## Resolve group names in People properties

People properties show groups only as space\_permission\_group- followed by an ID. Assistants can now look up the corresponding name, or find a group by name before setting it in a People property, as described in the [announcement](<https://developers.notion.com/page/changelog#october-14-2026>).
