Joining a child group of a group that you've been suspended from undoes the suspension. Try this: 1. Create two users, Alice and Bob. 2. As Alice, create Alice's Parent Group and Alice's Child Group. Set the policy on Alice's Child Group such that only members of Alice's Parent Group can request membership, and that people who meet all requirements are added to the group automatically. 3. As Bob, join Alice's Parent Group. 4. As Alice, suspend Bob from Alice's Parent Group. Verify that Bob's status is listed as "suspended". 4.5 Optionally, wait a few minutes, and, as Bob, log out and log in again. These don't seem to have any effect on what happens next. 5. As Bob, join Alice's Child Group. This should not succeed, but it does. 6. As Alice, check Bob's status in Alice's Parent Group. It should be "suspended", but it will be "active".
