After further testing here is what we have found:
The "Target Group" that the user is in seems to be controlling what group the record is associated with when it is added. The user adding that record to the target group he/she is within must also be a member of the group that that record was added into. Otherwise the record will not visible to the creator (because they aren't a member of the group that the record now exists within).
We have been having some weird problems where we have records that are visible to people in two separate groups.
Record 1 was made in group 1 with the target group of the creator set to group 1
Record 2 was made in group 2 with the target group of the creator set to group 2
Record 3 was made in group 2 with the target group of the creator set to group 2
Record 1 is visible by people associated with group 1 and group 2?!
Record 2 & 3 are not visible by those in group 1.
We cannot figure out what group a record is associated with when it is created. What determines this? What determines what group(s) the record is associated with and is there any way to see what group the record is associated with?

Subject: Target Group and "Only Group's Records"
Hello!
I have permissions in my app set up in such a way that it will only show records that belong to the "Target Group" of a user.
There is relatively little documentation on this feature, and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how it works, because it does work for my needs, but I have no idea how exactly it is working...
My guess is that when a person makes a record while in the group, that record is "assigned" to the group he is under. Then, if the user is moved out, and if other users are added to the group that has access to that record, they can all see and modify it even though the original creator is no longer present.
Am I thinking along the right track here? Is there more to it?
Just looking for some possible clarification! Thank you!
