Therefore, Bug1 can be seen by any +user, whatever their group membership. This is going to be the only +bug that User5 can see, because User5 isn't in any groups. + +Bug2 can be seen by anyone in Group2, that is User2 and User4. + +Bug3 can be seen by anyone in Group3, that is User3 and User4. + +Bug4 can be seen by anyone in Group4. Nobody is in Group4, so none of +these users can see Bug4. + +Bug5 can be seen by anyone who is in _both_ Group1 and Group2. This +is only User4. User1 cannot see it because he is not in Group2, and +User2 cannot see it because she is not in Group1. + +Bug6 can be seen by anyone who is in both Group1 and Group3. This +would include User3 and User4. Similar to Bug5, User1 cannot see Bug6 +because he is not in Group3. + +Bug7 can be seen by anyone who is in Group1, Group2, and Group3. This +is only User4. All of the others are missing at least one of those +group priveleges, and thus cannot see the bug. + +Bug8 can be seen by anyone who is in Group1, Group2, Group3, and +Group4. There is nobody in all four of these groups, so nobody can +see Bug8. It doesn't matter that User4 is in Group1, Group2, and +Group3, since he isn't in Group4. + + + -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
