public class EffectiveMembershipValidator
extends MembershipValidator

An effective member has an indirect membership to a group (e.g. in a group within a group). All subjects in a composite group are effective members (since the composite group has two groups and a set operator and no other immediate members). Note that a member can have 0 to 1 immediate memberships to a single group, and 0 to many effective memberships to a group. 'group within a group' can be nested to any level so long as it does not become circular. A group can have potentially unlimited effective memberships indirect membership to a group (e.g. in a group within a group).
