_[opencms-dev]_Problem_with_group-inheritance

[Andre Bernardini]

Sounds quite logical the way you explain it ... if only i'd get the right
results :)

If group B is subset of group A, group B should also contain A's members. And
excactly here is my problem: This doesn't happen! Instead, group A contains B's
members.

If this is only an understanding-problem of mine, I apologize and eagerly expect
your explanations :)

so long
André Bernardini
