Description Dan Callaghan 2015-05-12 01:47:11 UTC

Beaker should allow defining a groups members as everyone except a specific blacklist of users. Essentially the inverse of how a group is normally defined.

This RFE is aiming to solve the same issue as bug 1170741 (giving access to a system to everyone except certain users) but the implementation should be somewhat simpler and have less impact on the scheduler, because group membership lookups only happen once whereas access policy rules have to be evaluated across N systems in every scheduler pass.

Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2015-05-12 01:48:04 UTC

The main complexity here will be in the UI. This is made worse by the fact that the group page is still an ugly mess of old TG widgets. If we can port to Backbone first that might makes things easier.

Comment 2 matt jia 2015-11-04 23:53:40 UTC

Since we have ported the group page to Backbone.js(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251356), then we can start implement this.
