[FEATURE] Nested group support for Access Groups

[robinduerhager]

Based on @zyronix reply at #759 i tried out the Access Groups and thought about a UX thing which could be a potential problem for future operations:

As Described in this Discord Message from Vavaldi, there is currently no option to add whole user groups to Access Groups / Agent Groups. However when managing a large user base adding each user manually to different Agent Groups can be very time consuming, in which adding whole user groups could be beneficial.

To clarify, what you want is basically nested groups? You have lets say 3 agents in one access group and don't want to add individual user accounts to that access group? But want to add a group of user accounts to the access group?

Yes, this is exactly what i was thinking. :)

Since this is about permissions for a user group to use certain machines, it could also be valuable to locate this in the Access Management. So in there a Can use Access Groups: Students-PCs option could exist. However, idk right now how the backend looks, so this might be more work than extending the # of Users field in the Access Groups Section.

Gotcha, I renamed the issue so I am reminded what it is exactly about.
