Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for managing group membership in a multi-site networking environment. Embodiments include receiving, at a local management component on a networking site of a plurality of networking sites, from a global management component associated with the plurality of networking sites, a definition of a group. Embodiments include determining, by the local management component on the networking site, based on the definition, that the group comprises a networking object with a span that does not include the networking site. Embodiments include storing, by the local management component on the networking site, in a data structure, a reference to the networking object in association with the group, wherein the networking object is excluded from a determination of local membership of the group on the networking site.
