Support nested groups management via the Confluence UI
Example:
Group: PARENTGROUP contains user: A, B, and C. However, we want to add all of the users from another group, ANOTHERGROUP to the PARENTGROUP. Therefore, if ANOTHERGROUP had users: D, E, F, and G, making ANOTHERGROUP a subgroup of PARENTGROUP would give PARENTGROUP users A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Though logically Confluence could display the idea of a "subgroup", the core functionality of this subgroup feature would be the ability to merge group members from different groups when needed. Likewise, whenever the time came to remove the subgroup, the "remove selected subgroup" feature would take all members associated with that subgroup out of the parent group. In context with the example above, PARENTGROUP, after removing ANOTHERGROUP from being its subgroup would only contain users A, B, and C again.

[CONFSERVER-20902] Supported nested groups management in the Confluence UI
Sherif
Users in our Confluence instance are from LDAP, but since our LDAP groups
are not well organized in AD for Confluence, I have created my own
Confluence groups to organize our LDAP users. So, the answer to your first
question is 'Confluence groups'. Second, CONF-17150 is exactly what I'm
talking about. Unfortunately, for us the implementation would need to be
done in the system rather in LDAP. Thank you for your time!

Eddie,
Couple of questions - are your groups in LDAP or do you want them to be in Confluence? Also, does CONF-17150 cover what you are after?
I'm thinking something this complex should belong in LDAP not in the product...

Thank you for raising this issue. While we can see how this feature would be useful, we have no plans to implement it in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations, we're closing this request now. Thanks again for your idea.
