Description

Hi! I have a groupfolder app, which binds user groups and folders shared with those groups.

Recently, I found that the user (account) manager shows group folders (if they exist and are bound to certain groups) instead of the names of groups. If group folders are not created for those groups than the names of groups are shown.

I feel that is not correct and confuses, especially if names of groupfolders are not the same as names of user groups.

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in the user/account manager with a groupfolder bound to a user group, then trace the data used by that view and the groupfolder app integration. Done means the manager displays the user group names rather than groupfolder names, including when the names differ.
