Hello,

Thank you for reporting the issue. According to the documentation (doc):

Checkbox is available to Zabbix Super Admin users only and only when editing an existing host group.
Mark this checkbox and click on Update to apply the same level of permissions to all nested host groups. For user groups that may have had differing permissions assigned to nested host groups, the permission level of the parent host group will be enforced on the nested groups.
This is a one-time option that is not saved in the database.
This option is supported since Zabbix 3.4.0.

This works, if we add groups to the user group like this:

<group_name_X>
<group_name_X>/<subgroup_name_Y>

After we apply permissions to all subgroups we will have:

<group_name_X> (including subgroups)

But if we have only subgroups in the user group permission:

<group_name_X>/<subgroup_name_Y>

Settings will be lost. Confirmed.

Regards,
Edgar

It works as designed. Permissions from "READ" group was assigned to the all nested groups including "READ/UES". It seems that the group "READ" had no rights.
