Hi everyone,
I noticed that in M-Files Admin it is possible to have 2 user groups reference each other. Has this always been possible? I feel like I have gotten an error message when trying to pull off something like this in earlier M-Files versions, but I'm not sure if I'm just remembering wrong.
I feel like this could result in some funky behaviour if you have, for example, some code that checks if a user is part of a user group or any of it's subgroups.
Example: I have user groups Group1, Group2 and Group3.
Group1 references Group2 AND Group3
Group 2 references Group1
Now if a code block starts to iterate through Group1, then goes to check the members of Group2, sees that there's Group1, goes to check Group1..and so on. Infinite loop.
You could have a maximum limit for iterations, which helps with the eternal loop thingy, but that doesn't help with the fact that the iterations will be depleted and Group3 was never checked.
