Description

Check the following steps:

  1. Create a user called peter
  2. Create a group called peter
  3. User mary shares something with user peter (correct sharing)
  4. User mary tries to share something with group peter

Current: group peter is not listed as matching option (because peter is already a recipient, i guess)

Expected: even when a user and a group have the same name, they are different recipients. It should be allowed to share with both.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed sharing steps in the iOS app, using a user and group with the same name. Trace the recipient matching and selection flow; done means both recipients are listed and can be selected for sharing, as described in the expected behavior and referenced issue.
