2020-02-07 - Sharing of Groups with Groups Disabled for GitLab.com
Summary
Sharing a group with another group has been disabled for GitLab.com.
We have uncovered a bug in the feature to allow groups to be shared with groups which impacted membership resolution. Out of an abundance of caution we have disabled this feature until we can identify and deploy a fix.
Customers may have access to certain groups/projects affected as a result of this change.
