Draft: Multi groups

Alex Pooley requested to merge multi-groups into master

What does this MR do?

Proof of concept to use multiple-groups to back optional group inheritance.

Pibling refers to a collective term (of dubious origin) for aunt/uncle, which is a parental sibling, or "pibling". Nibling is the inverse of pibling. It's a collective term for niece/nephew. I'm happy to receive name improvements!

graph TD;
  rootA -- parent-child --> childA;
  rootA -- parent-child --> childB;
  childA -. shared .-> childB;
  rootA -. pibling-nibling .-> rootB;
  • parent-child : Namespace#parent_id
  • shared : GroupGroupLink
  • public-nibling : Namespace#pibling_id

This should all end up in a many-to-many join model eventually.
