Provides the local service utility for Group. This utility wraps com.liferay.portal.service.impl.GroupLocalServiceImpl and is the primary access point for service operations in application layer code running on the local server. Methods of this service will not have security checks based on the propagated JAAS credentials because this service can only be accessed from within the same VM.

```
public static java.util.List dynamicQuery(DynamicQuery dynamicQuery)
                                   throws SystemException
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns the matching rows.
    
    Parameters:
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    
    Returns:
    the matching rows
    
    Throws:
    
    SystemException - if a system exception occurred

```
public static java.util.List dynamicQuery(DynamicQuery dynamicQuery,
                          int start,
                          int end)
                                   throws SystemException
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns a range of the matching rows.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl. If both orderByComparator and pagination are absent, for performance reasons, the query will not have an ORDER BY clause and the returned result set will be sorted on by the primary key in an ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    start - the lower bound of the range of model instances
    end - the upper bound of the range of model instances (not inclusive)
    
    Returns:
    the range of matching rows
    
    Throws:
    
    SystemException - if a system exception occurred

                          OrderByComparator orderByComparator)
                                   throws SystemException
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns an ordered range of the matching rows.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl. If both orderByComparator and pagination are absent, for performance reasons, the query will not have an ORDER BY clause and the returned result set will be sorted on by the primary key in an ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    start - the lower bound of the range of model instances
    end - the upper bound of the range of model instances (not inclusive)
    orderByComparator - the comparator to order the results by (optionally null)
    
    Returns:
    the ordered range of matching rows

    Returns an ordered range of all the company's groups, optionally including the user's inherited organization groups and user groups. System and staged groups are not included.

    Parameters:
    companyId - the primary key of the company
    classNameIds - the primary keys of the class names of the entities the groups are related to (optionally null)
    name - the group's name (optionally null)
    description - the group's description (optionally null)
    params - the finder params (optionally null). To include a user's organizations, inherited organizations, and user groups in the search, add an entry with key "usersGroups" mapped to the user's ID and an entry with key "inherit" mapped to a non-null object. For more information see GroupFinder
    andOperator - whether every field must match its keywords, or just one field.
    start - the lower bound of the range of groups to return
    end - the upper bound of the range of groups to return (not inclusive)
    
    Returns:
