Hello George,

Perfect timings!!!

Though we have already released GroupID 9, we are looking into include as many customer-requested features in next version.

Can you please provide us with a detailed user story on this, I assume this is about GroupID Self Service. Feel free to email me on daanish.sayyed@imanami.com

Thanks

Hi Team

Just wanted to follow up on this for GroupID10.

I can see users accidentally creating these circular nested groups and potentially causing issues with LDAP filters or lookups and it would be good to stop users from doing this.

Story -

User creates Group A then nests Group B along with 100 individual users within Group A.

Then a new/different users doesn't know and then opens Group B and adds GroupA as a member of group B.
