What the API does

• Find all records from the posts collection having the same value for their uid field as that of the uid passed.
• Extracts the post from these records corresponding to the value of the postID passed [404].
• Adds the name of the group to the post if it has a value for its groupID field to the groupName field.
• Appends the name and username of the poster to the post to the senderName and senderUsername fields respectively.

Note: The owner of a post can see all the comments under that post irrespective of the visibility set on each comment.
