Get the site groups for the current site. it works fine and get all the groups.
passing the id received from the results above which is MembershipGroupId=562
 
 
but this gives me error 
 
here is the Group ID that is passed to retrieve the permission for the group.
/_api/Web/RoleAssignments/GetByPrincipalId(21)/RoleDefinitionBindings
 
Is group member id is the principal ID or we need some other method to find it.

    I tested in my environment and was able to get RoleDefinitionBindings using below logic:
     
    > get site groups => you are already doing this
    > Pass the ID of the site group from above step to the next step
    > next step, again use Send HTTP request to SharePoint action and use the below REST API URL:
    _api/web/RoleAssignments/GetByPrincipalId(5)?$expand=RoleDefinitionBindings
    5 is SharePoint GroupID in my case => you can use your owm group id
    > Use the "Parse JSON" action to extract RoleDefinitionBindings.

    It looks like there are groups that are created at subsite level, but they seem not to have any permission on the root site level. 
     
    not sure how is that possible.
     
    so when it looks for permission for those groups they don't exist in the root site level but when you query using site groups they all appear. 
     
    is there a way to get groups that have permission to the site excluding groups that doesn't have any permission?
