Is it possible to nest groups?

[Ant1]

Is it possible to create nested groups?  We'd like to create groups and attach certain roles to them.  Then we'd like to nest assignment groups into those groups to inherit those roles.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi,

Yes it is possible, There is a parent field available on all groups. You can set a group as parent of others and the access can be shared within the child groups.

Parent

Other group of which this group is a member. If a group has a parent, the child group inherits the roles of the parent group. The members of the child group are not members of the parent group. For example, if an incident is assigned to the parent group and you click the Assigned to lookup icon, only the members in the parent group are available. The members of the child group are not available.

Yes, use the parent field on the group table.

Also, make sure the role on the parent group has Inherits set to true.   (true is the default)
