# AuthConstants.FLATTEN_GROUPS Field

If FLATTEN_GROUPS is present and equals 0, the portal is version 5.0 and the group hierarchies will not be flattened.

public static string FLATTEN_GROUPS;

#### Remarks

In version 4.5WS, the portal expected the sync provider to flatten any group hierarchies, returning only a list of users 1-N levels below the specified group. In version 5.0, the call to `GetMembers` returns the immediate children, both groups and users.
