Problem Note 66302: The SAS® Viya® groupsForUser() function might omit groups and evaluate the rule condition incorrectly

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

When SAS Viya evaluates a conditional rule using the groupsForUser() function, the function might not capture all of a user's group memberships. For example, the following condition might evaluate as false even if userA is a member of testgrp1:

groupsForUser(userA).contains('testgrp1')

This issue can occur if the user is a member of more than 50 groups. The total is a combination of both SAS Viya custom groups and LDAP groups.
