Bootstrapping populated user groups

[scitrx]

Hi,

I tried to bootstrap a site. Unfortunately I had quite some issues with providing the required groups for the site. I found this <a href="https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-1829">link</a> which was quite useful so far. Nevertheless, I couldn't manage to bootstrap the admin user into a group I created. I tried the following:

…
            <cm:authorityContainer view:childName="cm:GROUP_site_my-site_SiteManager">
               <view:associations>
                  <cm:member>
                     <view:reference view:pathref="/sys:system/sys:people/cm:admin" view:childName="cm:admin" />
                  </cm:member>
               </view:associations>
               <view:aspects>
                  <sys:referenceable />
               </view:aspects>
               <view:properties>
                  <cm:authorityName>GROUP_site_my-site_SiteManager</cm:authorityName>
               </view:properties>
            </cm:authorityContainer>
…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I try the same approach to create sub-groups. The weird thing is, when I browse the group (More -> Groups) I can see all of my created groups, even the one above populated with the admin user. But the properties I define (here: cm:authorityName) are not created, which causes an exception in the NodeBrowser as well as the Repository view (of the header).


Any help will be apprececiated.

Many thanks,
Daniel

Hi,

I've got the same problem.
Did you find a solution?

Thank you,

ok, looks like a bug,
found two possible workarounds:

1. define view:associations separately

    <view:reference view:pathref="${system.authorities_container.childname}/cm:GROUP_site_my-site_SiteManager">
        <view:associations>
            <cm:member>
                <view:reference view:pathref="sys:people/cm:admin" view:childName="cm:admin" />
            </cm:member>
        </view:associations>
    </view:reference>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. change the order of child tags (aspects -> properties -> associations)

<cm:authorityContainer view:childName="cm:GROUP_site_my-site_SiteManager">
               <view:aspects>
                  <sys:referenceable />
               </view:aspects>
               <view:properties>
                  <cm:authorityName>GROUP_site_my-site_SiteManager</cm:authorityName>
               </view:properties>
<view:associations>
                  <cm:member>
                     <view:reference view:pathref="/sys:system/sys:people/cm:admin" view:childName="cm:admin" />
                  </cm:member>
               </view:associations>
            </cm:authorityContainer>
