Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
I just found a strange behavior on the server V 27.0.2:
- first : all cloud users are in the same group ("cloud").
- for the group "cloud" there was a folder sharing on "public"
- I had temporarily disabled some users.
- After reactivation of these users, the group's "public" folder sharing was no longer displayed.
- I've deleted the sharing-option for "public" and recreated it for the group "cloud".
- After that, all users had the release in the folder overview again.
Steps to reproduce
see above
Expected behavior
after reactivating a user the folder sharing options for the group should work again.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the group-share scenario by disabling and reactivating a user, then trace how user status changes affect group sharing and folder visibility; done means the existing group share remains listed after reactivation.
