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.

Description Jenny Severance 2011-07-11 12:34:49 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #719926 +++

Description of problem:
I have created an user in a testinstance:
[root@ipa01 ~]# id falko
uid=1612200003(falko) gid=1612200003(falko) groups=1612200003(falko),1612200001(ipausers),1612200004(ttt.admin),1612200000(admins)

The user is in the group 'admin', because the group 'ttt.admin' is listed in the member groups of 'admin'. While this works fine with ldap/sssd, the WebUI seems to not check the nested groups.
If I directly add my testuser to the group 'admin' the WebUI correctly displays the Admin options.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@ipa01 ~]# id falko
uid=1612200003(falko) gid=1612200003(falko) groups=1612200003(falko),1612200001(ipausers),1612200004(p4t.admin),1612200000(admins)

How reproducible: Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
* Install freeipa-server
* Create a group 'xxx'
* Add 'xxx' group to 'admin' group
* Create user 'asdf'
* Add 'asdf' user to the 'xxx' group
* id 'asdf' will show both groups
* WebUI will only display the user webinterface
  
Actual results:
* WebUI seems not to check the nested groups.

Expected results:
* WebUI should also check the nested groups.

Additional info:
This is not a fatal problem, since there aren't so many IPA admins - of course; And we can add those users directly to the 'admin' group. However, it would be convenient.

Question ... there are radio buttons for direct and indirect members now ... are you selecting indirect members to see user asdf as an indirect member of admin group?  This is working for me.

indirect member of a group

--- Additional comment from oliver on 2011-07-11 02:40:42 EDT ---

Your different looks different to mine... 8-/

However, the user is - of course - an indirect member, since it is direct member in the group 'xxx', and 'xxx' group is member in the 'admin' group. As already said.

Again, it's not a problem that the user doesn't belong to the group when it comes to ldap queries or if you check the user using the WebUI. But if you log in with the user, you only see the user UI and not the admin UI...

Yes. Exactly what I experienced. Great you were able to reproduce it!

/me didn't want to block RHEL 8-)

Verified using ipa-server-2.1.3-8.el6.x86_64

Added group testone, enrolled it as member of admin group. Added user asdf, enrolled in testone, making admin its indirect group. Logged as asdf, and can see all WebUI...like an admin should
