[dba-SQLServer] Finding current login group

sp_who returns domain and userid not the usergroup, and in fact I don't 
know how to get he usergroup name within a sproc, but one workaround is 
to create seperate functions and assign them rights based on the NT 
groups, you can have the sprocs return some type of value based on their 
usergroup name and this will provide you with the info you are seeking.
