Defect #15789
closedUsers can see all groups when adding a filter "Assignee's Group"

Description
Hello,
I'm going to quote Djordjije who perfectly explained the problem in issue #11724, note 13 (even if issue #11724 has nothing to do with this current issue).

This happens even if issue assignment to groups isn't allowed.
I've expected to see only the names of those groups which are assigned to that project in the filter list.
And guess what, almost all group names (in my case) are constructed from two parts: project role and project name. Very original idea, isn't it?
In this case, customer can easily guess names of all projects, which is not acceptible at all.
It seems that current Redmine user/group permission model can't provide reliable customer/project isolation.
"Workaround" could be to give meaningless names to groups, and even better, give meaningless names to projects also?
We have the same issue. We create a group for each customer who is accessing Redmine, and the group name is the customer name. This way, any customer can access our whole customer list.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
