Cloning since we have this merged in upstream. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #739854 +++ Description of problem: There is no way to distinguish between user and group in search How reproducible: Users: return both users and groups Users: usrname = "" return groups --- Additional comment from mpastern on 2011-09-20 12:33:52 IDT --- p.s its doesn't sounds right conceptual, as Users: search returns groups ... for groups the search should look like (SearchType.DBGroup, "Groups:...") --- Additional comment from iheim on 2011-09-20 13:54:41 IDT --- (In reply to comment #1) > p.s its doesn't sounds right conceptual, as Users: search returns groups ... > for groups the search should look like (SearchType.DBGroup, "Groups:...") this may be a bit more problematic, but type=users|groups as search parameter is probably easily achievable. --- Additional comment from lhornyak on 2012-07-18 11:35:55 IDT --- Ok, so the 'Users' search should only return users and the 'Groups:' search should only return groups? Should the 'groups' results still be displayed in the users tab or should there be a new tab for them? --- Additional comment from yzaslavs on 2012-07-18 11:56:39 IDT --- Einav - in reply to comment#3, can you please provide information about the UI tabs? --- Additional comment from ecohen on 2012-07-18 17:40:58 IDT --- (In reply to comment #4) > Einav - in reply to comment#3, can you please provide information about the > UI tabs? depends on the search-syntax solution: We basically have a main tab for every searchable business entity. If we want to separate Users and Group to be conceptually different business entities, then each one of them should have a main tab of its own. However, we need to consider more things, such as dialogs that contain users/groups search (e.g. "Add Permission" dialog) - should we have a separation there as well? What about the permissions sub-tab? should we have separate sub-tabs for users permissions and group permissions? Personally, I don't perceive them as separate business entities: Although they are completely different from directory-services perspective, they are almost the same from oVirt's perspective. Therefore, I tend to think that having type=users|groups as search parameter (as Itamar has suggested in Comment #2) is better than having two separate business entities (Users and Groups). In this case, there is no affect at all on the GUI - we remain with Users main tab only, no need to re-think about users-search within dialogs, users-related business entities GUI representation (e.g. permissions), etc. --- Additional comment from lhornyak on 2012-07-18 19:16:20 IDT --- http://gerrit.ovirt.org/6417
