Show access from shared groups in groups dashboard view
Summary
Users cannot see their access level or understand the source of their access when viewing groups in the dashboard, particularly for groups they access through sharing relationships.
Problem
In the dashboard group view, when a user has access to a group through group sharing (rather than direct membership), no access role badge is displayed. This makes it unclear:
- What permission level they have to that group
- How they obtained access to that group
Example: If Group E is shared with Group D (where I'm a Developer), I see Group E in my dashboard but have no indication of my access level or that my access comes from Group D membership.
Proposal
Display access role badges for all group memberships with clear indication of access source:
- Show the access level (Developer, Maintainer, etc.)
- Indicate how access was granted (direct membership, inherited, via shared group, etc.)
- Use tooltips or labels to clarify access provenance

Note: This issue will need to be re-evaluated once Teams architecture is implemented, as access patterns will shift from group sharing chains to Team-based assignments. The underlying need (visibility into access level and source) remains valid regardless of implementation.
