Hi Claudio,

Yes, you should be able to accomplish this by putting the highest level group 
you want authorized (in this case, Group B) as the target. There is more 
information available in the Admin Guide [1]. I think the important setting for 
this case is Group Search Scope, which would likely need to be set to 
“SUBTREE”. More information on nested LDAP groups here [2].
