Hi all,

I think I don't understand the inheritance of connections (and connection 
groups) within user groups. The way I understand it "Member Groups" should 
inherit any connections and connection groups from their "Parent Groups", if 
both exist in the database (using a PostgreSQL database for connection storage 
as we're using SSO with SAML running Guacamole 1.2.0).

So I have created the following test groups

- Admin Group
- Parent Group 1
  - Member Group 1
  - Member Group 2
  - Member Group n

Our connections are configured this way:

group 1
    - subgroup 1
        - second subgroup 1
             - connection 1
             - connection 2
and so on

Our parent groups contain the main structure down to any subgroup, the member 
groups contain everything below (second subgroup and deeper).
The admin group can administrate the system

The following are the test results with users belonging to different groups:
User A belongs to the Admin Group and can see everything and use any connection
This is working as expected

User B belongs to Parent Group 1 and can only see the connection groups down to 
subgroup 1
This has not been expected. The expectation was that User B can see and use any 
connection belonging to the Member Groups of Parent Group 1

User C belongs to Member Group 1 and can see all connection groups (but not the 
connections) and the connections from its Member Group
This also has not been expected. The expectation was that User C is only able 
to see the connection groups her user group has been given access to

Is this working as it should? Or am I seeing a bug here?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

i.A. Uwe Hermann
