Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	In the previous version of CloudForms Management Engine, one was unable to set group ownership to "No Group". This was caused because the dropdown allowed to set no group, but was required to have at least default group. With this fix, select a group dropdown menu does not contain "set group to nil" - only groups and tenants are listed.	Story Points:	---

Description Chen 2016-01-07 07:49:03 UTC

Description of problem:

Unable to set template group ownership to "No Group"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cfme-5.5.0.13-2.el7cf.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a CFME 5.5 in VMware vsphere 5.5
2. Set the ownership to "No Group"


Actual results:

The ownership doesn't change, but remain "Tenant [My Company] Access"

Expected results:

The ownership should be set to "No Group"

Additional info:

CFME 3.2 version doesn't encounter this problem. (There is no group called Tenant My Company Access )

Comment 3 Harpreet Kataria 2016-01-07 17:00:59 UTC

Looked into this issue, it seems that removing group ownership is not working for all entities. UI code seems to be sending up correct values (in this case nil to remove assigned group for a VM) to model method set_ownership in app/models/mixins/ownership_mixin.rb. Tried following commands in UI to verify that group is not getting cleared out for a VM, these commands might be helpful to write a spec test to recreate the issue:

vm = Vm.first
vm.miq_group.name
vm.miq_group=nil
vm.save
vm.miq_group.name

Let me know if more info on this is needed.

Comment 4 Keenan Brock 2016-01-07 17:48:06 UTC

This will not work.

A vm has to have both a group and tenant owner.
If there is not group, then it will just assigned the tenant's default group.
Since there are no users in the tenant's default group, there will be no changes to access.

What are you trying to do?
Why do you want no group?

Comment 5 Keenan Brock 2016-01-07 18:05:55 UTC

Given: We need to fix the ui and remove "Set group to no group".

But what I want to know is why the customer wants to set it to no group?
What are they hoping to achieve?

I'm hoping we can understand this and potentially update the UI
to fix any confusion that we are causing the customers.

Comment 8 Keenan Brock 2016-05-18 17:44:31 UTC

This has been on master since before 5.6 was cut.

To test, you will notice that there should not be a "set group to nil" for a vm anymore.
