Return max group access level in the projects API Currently if a project is inside a nested group and a user doesn't have specific permissions for that group but does have permissions on a parent group the `GET /projects/:id` API call will return the following permissions: ```json permissions: { project_access: null, group_access: null } ``` It could also happen that the group specific permissions are of lower level than the ones the user has in parent groups. This patch makes it so that the permission returned for `group_access` is the highest from amongst the hierarchy, which is (ostensibly) the information that the API user is interested in for that field. 2019-01-15 17:57:17 +00:00			`---`
