WebSphere Portal Nested groups
Disable support for nested groups
Portal user groups can be organized using the following structures:
Flat: No sub-groups. Hierarchical: Some groups are members of other groups If your user directory uses a flat structure, disabling support for nested groups in the access control component can significantly improve login performance for users who are members of many groups.
To disable support for nested groups, edit...
WP_ROOT/shared/app/config/services/AccessControlDataManagement.properties...and set...
Do not disable support for nested groups if your user directory uses a hierarchical group structure and you need access control inheritance along the hierarchy.
Full support for nested groups is not required
If nested group support is required when setting up access control for users and user groups but not when setting up access control on user groups, edit...
<wp_root>/shared/app/config/services/AccessControlDataManagement.properties...and add the following line...
accessControlDataManagement.enableTargetResourceGroupInheritance=false
If you do not modify these properties or if your portal has many groups that are nested several levels deep or that contains many users, you may experience reduced performance.
