Description

Feature Description:

Requesting the ability to collapse nodes that are automatically expanded in the UI. This feature was available in Ye Olde BloodHound. Without it, it makes working with large/complex AD environments very difficult in the UI.

Current Behavior:

I have a query from one node to another (not necessarily an exploitable one ;D) that shows thousands of "extra" nodes and edges. A node is a member of a large group that has relationships with other systems.

Currently, the UI expands out other similar edges that are unnecessary to the attack path being queried. For instance, in the below query, a group has CanRDP to hundreds/thousands of systems (it's the known "Citrix systems need CanRDP but don't actually allow RDP" issue -- used for demonstration as it's not a real issue).

As seen below, the attack path is essentially unreadable and requires significant effort to make use of by zooming, rearranging, etc.

Desired Behavior:

Only the relevant nodes and edges to the attack path being queried should be shown. Ideally, there would be an option to expand or collapse groups as in Ye Olde BloodHound.

Use Case:

It will benefit users in large AD environments that have complex relationships by making the visualization readable.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the large-group relationship view described in the issue and reviewing the attached screenshot. Define the collapse and expand behavior for automatically expanded groups, then verify that queried attack paths remain readable while users can reveal or hide group members and relationships.
