I didn't find this perfectly clear at all Knut. :)  Perhaps it is just the
wording of your mail, but let me try and repeat.

An orgunit should not belong to two organisation unit groups who are
members themselves of the same organisation unit group set. A facility
should not both a member of the  "Hospital" as well as a "Health facility"
orgunit group which are members of an orgunit group set called "Type", at
least in the DHIS2 view of things, and will result in a data integrity
violation. Similarly, it should not be both "Private" and "Public".
Membership in organisation unit groups which are part of a group set,
should be exclusive.

If the organisationunit group is not a member of a group set, then
memership in multiple groups is possible.

Of course, there are exceptions, like being both Norwegian and Swedish. But
DHIS2 will only consider membership in one of these, and it is not always
clear which one you may get. So, be sure you do not have any data integrity
violations for the orgunit groups.

Best regards,
Jason
