Description Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2016-09-14 08:36:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
The web UI has these three labels for group types: Normal, External, POSIX.

"Normal" is confusing because:
* It doesn't properly describe the group type (non-POSIX).
* What is actually considered normal? I would expect "normal" to mean "default", but the group type selected by default is actually "POSIX".


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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
For example, when adding a new user group:
1. User Groups - click Add.
2. The "Add User Groups" dialog shows the available group types.

Actual results:
"Normal"

Expected results:
"Non-POSIX" would work better - it's clearer and more descriptive. It would also be consistent with CLI.

Makes sense.
Comment 3 Pavel Vomacka 2016-09-14 11:16:44 UTC 
Agree. We can easily change it to 'Non-POSIX'. This was introduced in commit 44e86aa3bb7206991bbe1118ee3a35b6949b6ac9 .

Comment 7 Nikhil Dehadrai 2017-06-02 10:52:45 UTC 
Ipa-server: ipa-server-4.5.0-13.el7.x86_64


Verified that with latest version of IPA-server, on accessing path "Identity > Groups > Add" , we are now presented with following 3 group types:

Non-POSIX, External, POSIX. (See screenshot)

Thus marking the status of bug to "VERIFIED".
