Is User A Member of A Group or Nested Group

Question

There is a script to indicated if a user is a member of any listed groups. Is it possible to have a version of the script that checks a group or member of any nested group?

Hello,

Do we understand correctly that you need the script to return true if a user is a member of any group specified in the $groupDNs variable or any of its nested groups? If that is correct, you can use the second script from the article you referenced (Return true if the target object is a member of any of the groups).

We are wanting to specify a group in the code, and have it check that group plus all nested groups.

Hello,

That is exactly what the second script from the repository article does. You need to specify the distinguished name (DN) of the group in the $groupDNs variable. The script will return true if the user is a member of the group itself or any of its nested groups.

If you need to check membership of only one group, you can use the built-in condition If is a member of <Group>. To check membership in nested groups, make sure the Check direct members only option is not enabled.
