It’s in the SESSION, and there are API functions to retrieve the information.

You can see the SESSION array settings here:

I used getUserDocGroups() but could only retrieve the ID.

You’ll need to use that ID to query the database (the webgroup_names table) to get the name of the webgroup by its ID.
Users can belong to more than one group; perhaps your purpose would be better served by using the isMemberOfWebGroup API function. You could use this in a switch statement to deal with doing different things for different groups.
