["Andrew Jaquith (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Andrew Jaquith closed JSPWIKI-507.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

JSPWiki is meant to be flexible in terms of how we create wiki groups, and whether they match users we know about (if we manage them natively) or users we don't know about (if the container manages them).

Sometimes that flexibility means a user can get themselves into trouble, as Bruno notes.  But there's no obvious fix for this, and I don't believe it is serious enough a problem to devote engineering time fixing. Specific proposals (and patches) for this are welcome, of course.

>    Affects Versions: 2.8.1
>            Reporter: Bruno Peeters
>
> It is possible to define members for a group who are not defined in the wiki. There is no check whether the entered names are valid wiki names or full names.
> It is possible to edit the membership of a group ("edit group"). If the last user of a group is removed - the box showing the group members is empty - and the save button is clicked, there is no warning that it is not possible to remove the last user of a group. Although the user may think that he removed the last user, the requested removal has not been carried out.
> If a group is created by a valid user, and a non existing user is added, and finally the creator of the group removes himself of the list of group members, the group remains with only one member, not defined within the wiki. By default only members of the group can edit the membership list. There is currently no check that the last remaining user of a group is indeed a valid wiki user.
