In Nextcloud, when an user belongs to a specific group, she cannot see other groups, even if she is admin of the group. If she is owner of the group, she can add new users, but these new users will forcibly belong to the group she is owner of. She cannot assign other groups to users she created.
With this behaviour in mind, users who are not global admins should not be able to add groups to circles. Now this is possible in circles app. Isn't it a bug?
