Advantages

  • It is easily visible who is a group member, and why.
  • When someone is added a member to a childgroup, they become an indirect member of the parent group at once.

Details

Drives

Drives accessible to the parent group are accessible to all child group members.

Posts ( = Emails)

Posts in the parent groups are also posted in the child group, if the person posting has the appropriate permission in the respective child groups. Therefore, it is recommended to allow at least organization members to post in all the child groups.

Events

If the parent group is invited to a calendar event, the members of the child group are invited, if the person creating the event has the right to see the members of the respective child groups. Therefore, it is recommended to allow at least organization members to see the members of all the child groups.
