Multiple users or Group for Space access

[Jonny Polivka]

Is there a performance hit if a Space access is configured with multiple users instead of those users being in a Group that has access?

Thanks.

You won't really be able to notice a difference, but putting individual users in is actually slightly faster than groups.  The permission check takes the current user and says "can this person do this".  If you use users direct, the check comes back with an answer.  If you use groups, the system has do check what groups the user is in before it can answer.

Hello @Jonny Polivka , no there won't be any performance impact. However, giving space permissions to individual users will be hard to maintain in future when you like to do some clean up.

Thanks @Sachin.   My thoughts exactly that maintenance will be a pain if adding users directly but sometimes the use case calls for it.
