Problems

• For personal workflows, I want to be able to see issues across the entire instance, and manage them myself. The issue dashboard itself is helpful but limiting, because it just presents a list of issues assigned to me. I need a more flexible way to organize those issues.
• For team workflows, if a team works across multiple groups, they currently don't have a way to organize that work together.

Concept

• Extend our existing group-level issue boards so that for a given group board, it can be scoped to have additional groups.
• I.e. there is a special configuration. For a group board in group A, the default scope are issues in projects that are in the group tree structure rooted at group A. But there is now a special configuration where you can also pull in scope from another group, such as group B, and specify it in that group board.

Scope

• Issues: All the issues from all projects from all the groups (including their descendants) specified above form the issue scope of the issue board.
• Labels: All the labels from all projects and all groups (including their descendants) specified above are available in the board, whether as filters, as board config, or as label lists.
• Milestones: Similar to labels above.
• Users: All the users from all projects and all groups (including their descendants) specified above can access the board itself.
• Permissions: A user who views the group can see only what they are supposed to see. I.e. if they don't have access to a certain issue, it shouldn't appear for them in the board. If they don't have access to a label or a milestone, then those associated label lists or associated milestones lists shouldn't appear for them.
