Feature detail

I'd like be able to use groups of users. Either created by the admin, users, imported from oauth, or some combination thereof. Ideally the end result would be able to use all of those options together. Admin created through local and if they control the provider oauth information, with users being able to create their own local groups.

Reasoning behind this request is that all sides of my family have requested me to create a space for them to share photos with the family that isn't tied to some specific platform. Immich is far and above my top choice for this compared to other projects I have seen out there. Downside is that with my parents being divorced and then my wifes side of the family that's essentially three separate units. My mother doesn't want my father and his side of the family to see pictures of her birthday party for example. I don't want to run three instances of Immich because then photos I'd like all three family's to see need to be duplicated.

With user groups I could create a "Family A" group and share an event like "my mothers birthday party" album that was just pertinent to that side of the family without having to specify every member every time we create an album for an event. Same for "Family B" and "Family C". Then if there was some album I wanted to share with everyone, say my own birthday party I could share to all three groups or a group that contains those three nested.

The other advantage of groups vs individual sharing would be as new members of the family join the server and placed in their group they gain access to all albums shared to that family instead of having to go back and add their accounts to all existing albums.

This request in conjunction with nested albums requested in #1010 would create my perfect scenario for sharing and permissions. If #402 and #34 were implemented, Immich would become the only real choice in the photo hosting/backup realm in my humble opinion.
