I am writing some code to look up the members of particular domain groups. Does the user that this application runs as need any particular permissions on the domain to get this information?

Background: I have already determined that the application needs to be run as a domain user to be able to query information from the domain. I have a list of group names and for each group, I need to look up the members of that group on the domain and get their names/usernames.
