User groups composed of user groups

[Juanjo Pérez, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi everyone.

I think it could be very useful, due to simplification of users administration, to allow that not only the members of a user group are users, but it allow also that a user group is a member of a user group. For example:

- A user group "Teachers of school X"
- A user group "Students of school X"
- A user group "Members of school X" with 2 memebers: "Teachers of school X" and "Students of school X".

What do you think about this?

We've been doing something similar with orgs.

Org = XYZ Corp.
Suborg = Engineers
Sub-suborg = Specific Engineering Project

As an example.

Sounds like a good idea, but implementing it would most likely be complex and inefficient.

I'd agree with Lisa's approach.

It is complex but it's a very LDAP-ish approach to managing users.
