> Key: MAGNOLIA-1582
> URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1582
> Project: Magnolia
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Amir Mistric
> Assigned To: Grégory Joseph
> Fix For: 3.1
>
>
> Scenario
> Let say there are 5 users which have special priviledges.
> Instead of assigning to each user all the necessary roles and groups a
> special group is created (e.g. GSPECIAL)
> Add groups publisher and editor to group GSPECIAL and add as many roles as
> necessary to group GSPECIAL.
> Then add each of 5 users to group GSPECIAL.
> Problem #1:
> Inbox notification does not work.
> None of the members of GSPECIAL have a direct relationship with groups
> "publisher" and "editor" which are necessary for Inbox notification..However,
> users *DO* belong to those groups via indirect group membership...
> Problem #2:
> Role inheritance does not work.
> Getting user roles via API returns only direct assigned roles. In our scenrio
> that means none of the 5 users have roles defines which is not true. All 5
> users have indirect roles defined via group membership.
> Perhaps my logic is flawed but if a user is a member of a group which in turn
> has other groups and roles than that user shold inherit all those roles and
> groups along with their priviledges....
> Workaround:
> Assign groups and roles directly to user.
> Quick solution:
> Disable assigning groups and roles in group dialog or abandon groups
> allthogether (bad idea). I am sure workflow can be based off of roles in that
> case...
