Thanks – this was the solution.

 

Ideally, it would be nice if the drop-down entry could be hidden in some way 
without breaking the back-end  functionality.

 

Regards,

of: ISAAR (CPF) and NCA Rules"

 

In the staff interface, go to System > Manage Controlled Value Lists. Then 
select "Name Rule (name_rule)" from the List Name drop-down. If that list 
doesn't have a value of "local", or that value has been suppressed, that could 
be the cause of your problem.

The issue is that creating system users also creates an (unpublished) agent 
record. So, if you've suppressed local rules for the naming of persons in your 
metadata, it'll won't be able to create the agent, so it won't be able to 
create the user either.

Hi,

 

I’m the admin for ArchivesSpace at the University of Sheffield, in the UK. 
We’ve had ArchivesSpace since version 2.7, and we currently run 2.8.1 with 
plans to move to 3.2.0 within the next month.

 

During our initial setup and launch, a number of user accounts were created for 
our permanent archival, metadata and technical staff. Since then we have had 
two new members of staff who qualified for ArchivesSpace accounts on our local 
system.

 

Unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to create these accounts due to an issue 
in the staff user interface. I have populated the fields on the user form, and 
this is always done using the ‘admin’ account. When the form is submitted, the 
response is as follows:

 

Invalid value 'local'. Must be one of 'ISAAR (CPF) and NCA Rules'

User not created

 

Looking at the logs, I see that the frontend is sending the following data to 
the server (response lines are also shown, sensitive information redacted):

I’ve tested this on a dev server with a backup of our production database, with 
the ArchivesSpace code replaced with stock builds of 2.8.1 and 3.2.0 from 
GitHub, using a near-default config that only had the changes necessary to 
allow connection to MySQL and to specify the PUI/SUI URLs. In these cases the 
problem still occurs.

 

I have also tried dropping the entire database and created a fresh set of 
tables (without data) using the database setup script. This seems to work. Thus 
I conclude that something in the database affects the operation of the user 
creation component, and this is independent from the config file or code.

 

The key issue is that a value of ‘local’ is being passed, and the error message 
is telling me that it should instead "Must be one of: ISAAR (CPF) and NCA 
Rules”.

 

What do I need to do to get rid of the ‘local’ value that is being passed and 
to get the correct value instead?
