            Is this clear?

            Abundantly. Thanks for taking the time to draw out the diagrams. It made your question very easy to understand

            Can Crowd 1.4 do this?

            Yep! That's the primary use-case.

            Hi,

            It's not clear to me if Crowd 1.4 will support my requirements. Hopefully if I explain here someone can clarify...

            My ActiveDirectory is configured like this:

            + DC=sub,DC=domain
|---+ OU=SomeTopLevelNode
      |---+ OU=SomeOtherNode
           |---+ OU=MyConfluenceGroups
                 |---- CN=MixedUsersAndReferencedGroups
|---+ OU=AnotherTopLevelNode
     |---+ OU=Users
           |---- CN=Joe Bloggs
           |---- CN=Barny Rubble
           |---- CN=Fred Flintstone
|---+ OU=YetAnotherTLNode
      |---+ OU=GroupsOutsideMyControl
            |--- CN=Some Outside Group
            |--- CN=Some Other Outside Group

            Users (e.g. Joe or Fred) have an objectClass=person attribute and an sAMAccountName=fred (for example) attribute.

            Groups have an objectClass=group attribute and one or more member=DN attributes where the DN can be that of a user OR that of a group elsewhere in the AD tree (e.g. Some Other Outside Group). This use of a member=DN attribute to refer to something other than a user is what I mean by "nested groups" but may not be your meaning.

            Assume that the MixedUsersAndReferencedGroups group has these member= attributes

            member=CN=Joe Bloggs,OU=Users,OU=AnotherTopLevelNode,DC=sub,DC=domain
member=CN=Some Outside Group,OU=GroupsOutsideMyControl,OU=YetAnotherTLNode,DC=sub,DC=domain

            And that the Some Outside Group group has these member= attributes:

            member=CN=Fred Flintstone,OU=Users,OU=AnotherTopLevelNode,DC=sub,DC=domain

            When I look in Confluence -> Administration -> Manage Groups I want to see:

            MixedUsersAndReferencedGroups

            If I drill down into MixedUsersAndReferencedGroups the members I see should be:

            User, Full Name
joe, Joe Bloggs
fred, Fred Flintstone

            I should also be able to choose the MixedUsersAndReferencedGroups group in any of the permissions screens so that I can restrict access to various spaces to members of the groups under MyConfluenceGroups.

            Is this clear?
            Can Crowd 1.4 do this?
