Answers.Text: Thank's petednz, and your scenario can be merged to group?
  I mean: if X, Y and Z all belongs to group Gr1, a search on this group will return: X, Y and Z when made by X and will return Y and Z when made by Y?

  This may not fit your scenario, but for others we have been able to provide this by using Relationships to 'join the dots'
  
  * If someone (X) has Permissioned Relationship to Org 1
  * and Org 1 has permission to Org 1.1,
  * and person Y has permission to Org 1.1
  * and if Org 1.1 has permissioned relationship to Z, then
  * X will see Y and Z
  * Y will see Z

  You automatically have access to members of all child groups when you have access to the parent group: <https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/stable/organising-your-data/groups-and-tags/#visibility>
  
  However, you need additional ACL permissions for each child group if you want to see and modify their child group status.
