Unsolved Groups bug

[marcusquinn]

I went to edit Groups for the Apps accessible here: /#/users - but it seems the ticking has the inverted results of that expected and inverted all my App Access permissions.

@marcusquinn not exactly clear to me what the issue is, at least I am not sure how to reproduce that.

Generally the settings in both users and app configure views edit the same values, so they will overwrite each other.

@nebulon I'm scared to try and reproduce it, but I was in /#/users and start editing Groups, only to watch all the apps a user I was sitting with have everything disappear before our eyes.

Turned out that the ticks & unticks for Groups on that page were doing the inverse of what was expected. Tick hid apps and untick showed them. Suggests to me that somewhere in that code a == should be a != or visa versa.

@marcusquinn I am still not sure what to do to see the issue. At least to me this works as expect, but then again this is maybe just because I am used to how it works.

Maybe one oddity of this is, that if an app is setup without restrictions, and then go and configure a group to have access to an app, then for that app all other access is cut off, since it now has restrictions in place to only allow that group. Is this what you hit?

@nebulon I'm not too sure - it happened in a demo meeting, so I was panicked and rushing to move onto talk about other things, whiles simultaneously knowing that I'd just deactivated access to a load of apps to all other users during the working day, and also trying to fix live in that meeting while talking about other things. Mental gymnastics I assure!

I know it wasn't my imagination. I know that what happened was the inverse of what should have happened.

Frustratingly my days are dawn-to-bed intense on user needs, so documenting needs time is escaping me.

If you are happy with all that I have detailed above, that you could be confident to edit the Apps that a Group has access to, without anything unexpected happening, then you know the code behind it, I still can't explain any more what happened other than it definitely happened.

Perhaps someone else here knows or can also test. Sorry, I'm just spread too thin right now and even greater needs are demanding all attention

@marcusquinn I understand your time constraints, unfortunately I am not able to trigger the behavior you are describing, so this is hard to find a fix for it. Maybe if you have some time, can you describe how one of those apps was setup initially before you adjusted the access control from the groups panel?
