RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version:	ipa-3.0.0-1.el6	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	Feature: Prevent deletion of the last admin Reason: Administrators were able to accidentally delete a last user from Identity Management Administrators group, which could only be repaired with direct LDAP modification by Directory Manager. Result (if any): Identity Management does not allow Administrators to delete or disable last member in Administrator group and thus the Identity Management has always at least one active Administrator.

Description Dmitri Pal 2012-03-20 17:16:39 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2564

This is related to the ticket #2560 and forked out of it to track just the admin issue.

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2012-06-07 19:17:48 UTC

Fixed upstream.

master: f8e7b516d923142a23058cb23ee817522686cfe3

Things to test:

1. Delete admin from admins group (by default the only user)
2. Delete admins group
3. Add several users to admins group and try to remove all members at once, so:

ipa group-add-member --users=user1,user2 admins
ipa group-remove-member --users=user1,user2,admin admins

Should fail to remove them.

Two new errors were added: LastMemberError and ProtectedEntryError.

Comment 3 Namita Soman 2012-11-27 03:42:27 UTC

Verified using cli and UI with ipa-server-3.0.0-8.el6.x86_64

When deleting and disabling admin - got error -
admin cannot be deleted or disabled because it is the last member of group admins
