It would be a good idea to make nested group easily identifiable i the group management interface.

There are various examples and discussion how to expand group membership to a list of users, including nested groups...

That´s true, support for nested groups would be very nice...
We have 250 users in active directory - an efficent way to use LDAP Groups (i.e. also Email Distribution Lists) would be really cool. Poor group management is real showstopper for large organisations....
All of our groups are implemented as nested groups (according to our organisational structure) - the member attributes
are pointing to the DNs of the nested groups.
Some improvements would be also very welcome for the openfire group management frontend:
wildcard/substring search in the group search window (i.e "?devel?", or simply "devel")
limit displayed groups to groups which are currently shared

Hi,
is there progress here? Will this really be fixed by 3.7.1?
I would really really love to use this feature.
Thanks,
Wolfgang
A few LDAP servers such as AD support group nesting. It would be handy to support this in Wildfire, as it could make shared group handling for larger organizations much easier.
