Change user profiles and group membership information
Roles assignments on user groups, such as Role_Type@User_Group, do not include permissions on nested subgroups. To obtain permissions on a user, have a role assignment on a group to which the user directly belongs.
For example, suppose there are two user groups, the Operations Group and the Marketing group. The Marketing group is a nested subgroup of the Operations group. Penelope is a direct member of the Marketing group. The Editor@Operations Group role does not allow a user to modify Penelope's user profile unless Penelope is also a direct member of the Operations group
Roles that are assigned to members of a user groups are still propagated to nested subgroups. For example, if the Operations group has the Editor@Market News Page role, then by default Penelope still inherits that role assignment.
