Bug #647
closedDo not let non-admin users create a new Group
100%
Description
I installed the stable release of myamiweb yesterday (6/10/10). When I try to create a new group, I don't have an option for assigning privileges to the new group. To set them, I had to edit manually in the db.

Can anyone reproduce this? It works correctly on fly. Perhaps has something to do with the DB upgrade. Scott, when you say you don't have an option for setting the privilege, do you mean that the privilege drop box is not there?

Whoops. This was user error on my part. I was logged in as someone who could "View all but administrate owned". When I login as someone with "At all administration level", a pull down appears that allows me to change permissions. What is weird to me is that someone who is not an administrator can create a group. This seems like an error to me.

Hey Scott!
I noticed you don't have a group call 'users' in your database. If you turn on the login system for myamiweb, this 'users' group is the default group for new user to sign up for an account.
Please create a new group call 'users' (the name matter) and assign the privilege to "Administrate/view only owned project and view shared experiment".
Thanks.

Hi Eric,
I do have Users in my db after upgrading to "login" mode. I think the problem is what I say above.
someone who is not an administrator can create a group. This seems like an error to me

Scott, very good point about creating a group as a non-admin. I'll leave this as a bug to be fixed for 2.1.

Eric,
Doesn't config.php have default user assignment?// --- defaut user group -- //
define('GP_USER', 'users');
Upgrades don't get the four default group in case of duplicates. All groups other than the one administrator is in are set with equivalent of user privileges but no rename.Updated by Eric Hou almost 14 years ago
No.
The "users" group is only need to use if system allowing login function.
So if people doing upgrade but not able the login function, they don't need 'users' group.
But if people doing upgrade but able the login function, they need 'users' group. Otherwise they need to manually go to config file to set the default group.
// --- defaut user group -- //
define('GP_USER', 'users');
Thanks.

Anchi, how should I test this? Do a new installation and look for what?

Testing:
1. login as a user in poweruser group (view all but edit own privilege).
2. go to addgroup.php
you should get denied access.
3. go to admin.php
you should not see icon linked to addgroup.php
4. go to user.php
you should see users but not being able to edit them.
