Allow a user to assign members to an organization

[Thomas Kellerer, módosítva 11 év-val korábban]

Hello,

we created a role "UserAdmin" to allow specific users to manage other users, especially assign them (or remove them from) organizations.

So we assigned that role the following privileges:

When such an UserAdmin opens another user in the control panel and that user (beeing edited) is not yet assigned to an organization, all available organizations can be selected.

However if a user is already assigned to an Organization the UserAdmin cannot add more organizations. In the search dialog that appears after clicking the "Select" link, only the currently assigned organization is shown.

When going through the Organization portlet, "Assign members" only shows a very small subset of all users. We have not yet found out what logic is behind that selection.

I have already updated the search index (through "Server Administration -> Reindex all search indexes. ") but to no avail.

We are using Liferay 6.0.6

What am I missing?

Thomas

Does anyone have an idea for this?
Or is this simply broken in 6.0.6?

After digging through the source code I found a system setting that controls this behaviour:

After setting:

organizations.assignment.strict=false

I can see all users (including those that are not assigned to "my" organization) when using "Assign members" in the organization portlet.

Unfortunately this does not fix the behaviour in the user profile. I can still only select "my" organization (the one that the current user is assigned to). Looking at the JSPs and the portlet seems that there is no fix for this (other than patching the source code).

Hello!
Have you found a solution for this?

Thanks!
