As we know we can assign permission to specific AD groups from SharePoint workspace. So all users presents in that specific AD groups can get\u00a0permission\u00a0to SharePoint sites based on the permission defined to this AD groups in\u00a0SharePoint sites. If this AD group is a nested AD group then also all users present in all nested groups can have the permission to this SharePoint site.<\/p>\n

If there are requirements to list out all the users present in a specific AD group (Nested AD group) then this below mentioned code functions will help you in getting the Users presents in Nested AD groups.<\/p>\n
