Probably the most frequent use case for this would be to allow group members to apply for membership in sub-groups without having to make those sub-groups public. So let’s say you have a group for all members in an association, then those members (and only those) should be able to see various thematic working groups or what have you, either as a matter of transparency or in order to make it possible for them to join those group. Likewise, those in the board group would be able to see various sub-committee groups etc. If I’m not mistaken, currently the only way to allow users to apply for membership in a group is to make the group public. I like where you seem to be heading with this as the group I am dealing with may wish to have multiple groups inside, some of them private. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/more-nuanced-group-visibility-based-on-group-membership/77129)._
