Issue 3506: Disallow cycles in group includes
Status:  New
Owner: ----

Currently it's possible for a group to include itself, creating a cycle. Also larger cycles are possible if group A includes group B, and B again includes A etc.

I cannot think of a reason why this could be useful, so I think we should disallow it to avoid confusion.

Ok, maybe there is a valid use-case for groups to mutually includes themselves, but at last a group should be able to include itself.

Cycles in group includes seems to make 'List Group Members with recursive' Rest API slow.
