Contained in package wwsec_api.

Call this function to check if a user is individually (directly) registered as a member of a specific group. If the specified user's membership in the specified group is the result of the user's membership in another group that is a member of the specified group (an indirect membership), this function returns FALSE.

Example: A user can have an individual membership in the Oracle Portal Administrators group, or can have a membership in the Oracle Portal Administrators group by being a member of the DBA group, which is a member of the Oracle Portal Administrators group. If a membership in DBA causes this user to be a member of Oracle Portal Administrators, this function would return FALSE. If the user has a direct membership in Oracle Portal Administrators, this function would return TRUE.
