Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/KelvinTegelaar/CIPP/issues/4931

Please confirm:

  • I have searched existing feature requests (open and closed) and found no duplicates.
  • **me or my organization is currently an active sponsor of the product at the $99,- level.

Problem Statement

We work with persona's, and this means we create a group for a persona and create groups per resource so that when a user is added to a group, that user has access to the resource by a groups. This way of working will provide standarization for MSP's.
Currently CIPP does not have a feature to add groups to a group (only individual users)

Benefits for MSPs

for an MSP this will have banefits of using a standard way of using group nesting to ease management on resource access management for example.

Value or Importance

Important, because now we have to switch to Microsoft portals, because cipp does not support these feature and created additional management overhead.

PowerShell Commands (Optional)

No response

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in improving CIPP!
To keep our development process focused and manageable, feature requests are limited to paying users. This policy helps us prioritize improvements that directly benefit those actively supporting CIPP and ensures we can sustain our development and support.

When a sponsor makes a feature request, their support covers training, development, documentation, and security checks. Allowing non-sponsor requests could lead to a backlog that slows down updates and stretches resources thin, ultimately affecting the quality and sustainability of CIPP.

While we’ve closed this request, we appreciate your input. You’re always welcome to participate in ongoing discussions or contribute to open issues. If you are a developer, feel free to open a PR that includes your feature request or comment "I’d like to work on this!" to assign the issue to yourself.

Did you get this notification in error? Reply with a screenshot of your sponsorship payment and we’ll reopen the issue.

Thank you for understanding,
The CIPP Team

Currently we have the following structure.

Role-Werkplaats
Data-Werkplaats-RW
Data-Machine-RW

We want to aad Role-Werkplaats-RW group into Data-Werkplaats-RW
Within CIPP we do not have the ability to select a group to add as member.
