CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello,

I've been looking the forums before posting this question. But I didn't find the answer I was looking for.

Let's imagine I've a nested group, having a number childs. Something like:

1. My Parent Group
1.1. My First Subgroup
1.2. My Second Subgroup
1...
1.14 My Last Subgroup

If I assign contacts directly to the subgroups, I'll find them if I perform a search over "My Parent Group".

But if I create a ACL permission, allowing "Staff Users" to "View" all the contacts in "My Parent Group", they'll only be able to see the contacts assigned directly to "My Parent Group". (They won't see the contacts assigned to the subgroups).

Is that the behaviour by design? Or the "ACL" integration of nested groups is still not implemented? Maybe it is customizable?

Thanks!

P.S.: By the way, I'm working with a CiviCRM 4.3.4 over a Drupal 7.

As an aside subgroups are OK - unless they are very large - at which point it has a performance impact.
