A typical use case it to be able to change the button style of all the buttons on a card, but I don't want to touch the style of buttons that are part of top and bottom nav bars that are placed on all cards.  I need to be able to go into a review process and if someone says "Let's see what it looks like if we change the buttons to look like XYZ"

You can check the "owner" of the button and see if it is a shared group 
or not.

You can get a list of the shared groups that are being used on a card by 
using "get the sharedGroupNames of card xxx".

For buttons that aren't in groups, the owner will be the card.  If they 
are in a group, the owner of the button will be the group they are in.
