From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: When I create a new role under the Roles tab, I notice this appears in Groups under the User Administration, Groups tab. Then when I go to Add Members to the Role, search returns these Roles as Groups. I expect to set privileges by Role, not Group. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create Role 2. Go to Groups 3. A new Group has appeared Actual Results: 1. Created a role called "Jurassic editor" 2. Can now see a new Group. "Group Name: content Administration Jurassic editor" 3. This appears in Member search results for Groups Expected Results: I expect Roles to be different from Groups. One would not create the other. Additional info:
Roles are just a convenience in CMS for associating a group with a bunch of permissions. As such when you create a Role, it internally creates a group, which you can then see in Groups tab at /ccm/admin. This is the expected behaviour of the system.
