----------------------------------------

             Summary: A user with access only to a load-balance group cannot use connection sharing
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-2042
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-2042
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: guacamole
    Affects Versions: 1.5.5, 1.5.4, 1.5.3
         Environment: Docker
            Reporter: Chris Wheeler


I have a load balancing group of RPD servers, each of which has a read-only sharing profile created. By giving a restricted user access to nothing but the load balance group and all of the sharing profiles within, I would expect that the user would be able to share the load-balanced connection when connected, but that is not the case (no sharing option is visible in the menu). However, if I additionally grant the the user access to each of the servers within the group individually, then the user can access the share menu when connected to the very same load-balance group connection.

 

So the behavior of the load-balance group connection changes based on settings unrelated to the load-balance group connection (setting permission to access direct-connections to servers within the load-balance group)

 

Since there is no sharing profile setting for the group as a whole, this means it's currently impossible to allow sharing while granting user access to only a load balance group.

 

Note: The Affects Versions I selected are not necessarily comprehensive, I didn't check older versions.
