USER count difference

Question

When I am logged in as a member of Admin group the following returns a count that is different from, when i am logged in as member of some group that is also a group member of cons!ALL_USERS 
 
 Any idea why those count could be different ? 
 
 count( a!groupmemers( group: cons!ALL_USERS, direct: false, memberType: "USER" ) )

This can be because of the group's privacy policy (find it in group properties). Try changing it to the lowest level to check if that is why it is happening. 
 Use the documentation to understand what is the privacy policy - docs.appian.com/.../Group_Management.html

Thanks for reply.The group ( cons!ALL_USERS, ) privacy policy is set to low (members can see each other) .. Public/Closed/Low. I think more than likely its the subgroups that might be restricted. Thanks for the pointers though, appreciate.

This is because a!groupmembers() function can only return members of the group which loggedInUser is part of, so it might be that there are some groups in All User system group for which the other user do not have permission that's why there is a count difference.
