I guess I can see this for auditing, perhaps, if you want users that have the ability to only audit connections and connection history, but I'm curious what your use-case is. > > - When using the filter to find connections, I'd like to see which > Group they belong to (if any).

There is a current JIRA issue, already, for adding groups to Guacamole.

I do agree that there needs to be a way to select all children more easily than you can right now.
