Recursive Group Search

Workflow Manager 2015

When you perform a search for a directory services user in Workflow Manager, if the imported group contains subgroups, Workflow Manager, by default, will perform a recursive search through the parent group and all of its subgroups.

However, if your directory service connection has an extensive hierarchy of groups and subgroups, this recursive group search may cause you to experience performance issues. Therefore, if you want Workflow Manager to only search the parent group, you should set the RecurssiveGroupSearch property to false.

The default value of this setting in web.config is:

<add key="RecurssiveGroupSearch" value="true"></add>
