Description

I've noticed that when a user is undeleted, they're not re-added to any groups they used to be in.

Is it possible to fully restore their account including group memberships, or is this data completely lost when they were deleted?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the plugin's undelete flow and how NodeBB stores group membership for deleted users; determine whether prior memberships remain available. Done means the issue has a decided restoration behavior and an implementation that restores memberships when possible, with coverage for the undelete case.
