Remove user from group does not work in some cases

Description

What I did:

Added a user, which got added to group A by default (also server side group A). Selected group B for that user afterwards. Then wanted to uncheck group A for that user.

What I got:

Group A still stayed as one of the two local groups of that user

What I expected:

I expected that the user would be removed from that group A. Also I would have expected that user would then be member of group B, both local and server side.

What could be done:

Maybe implement a dialog for editing group membership. The checkbox popup menu does not reflect all possible situations in an intuitive way. There should also be a simple way to MOVE users from one group to another. At the moment you have to do the following:

1. Set server side group from A to B 2. Set local group to not include A

However, since the local menu is top level a user rather does this:

1. Set local group to B 2. Uncheck local group A 3. ??? wonders why it did not work

Change History

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

User menu in Qt4-Gui has been changed (in r6453) to grey out the menu entry for the local group if user is member of the same server group. This makes it visible that the local group cannot be removed.

I agree that group editing for users could be more easy managed through a dialog and it's already added to the wish list (User Center Dialog). However, I consider the defect described in this ticket to be fixed so I'm closing the ticket.
