Previously, we needed to pass the group to the function, which sometimes
meant having 1 extra query to fetch the user group when we just needed
the group id for this function.
We now allow changing description and all the permission settings
for deactivated groups as well, as there is no need to restrict
it and makes handling UI for deactivated groups easier.
Since we have many group based settings and many of them
use anonymous groups as default, there might be a group
with ID "1111" as group IDs keep increasing across a test
suite run and it is no longer an invalid group ID.
This commit updates the tests to use a large enough
value like "123456" as invalid group ID.
The test for updating group permissions when passing old value
used "1111" as an invalid group ID passed as new value as well
as old value. But now since we have many group based settings
and many of them use anonymous groups as default, there might
be a group with ID "1111" as group IDs keep increasing across
a test suite run and it is no longer an invalid group ID.
So, updated the test to -
- Use a large enough value like "123456" as new value for
testing invalid group ID case.
- Remove the test passing invalid value as "old" because we
do not check validity for old values and just compare it
with the actual current value of the setting.
The test for setting group permissions value when creating groups used
"1111" as an invalid group ID, but now since we have many group based
settings and many of them use anonymous groups as default, there might
be a group with ID "1111" as group IDs keep increasing across the test
suite run and it is no longer an invalid group ID.
So, updated the test to use a large enough number like "123456" as
invalid group ID.
As we now allow anonymous groups and settings can be set to any
set of users, there is no benefit in not allowing a setting to
be set to "Owners" group.
This commit adds support to add subgroups to a group while
creating it.
User can add the subgroups to group irrespective of permissions
like user can add members during creating it.
This commit updates code to allow users with permission
to add members to add subgroups as well. And only users
with permission to manage the group can remove subgroups.
Also updated tests to check permissions in separate tests
and removed them from the existing test.
The comment about non-admins and non-moderators who are not
member of the group cannot update subgroups of that group
is not correct since there is no such restriction now after
c9d527603. The test passes because the member user is not
part of can_manage_group or can_manage_all_groups.
We want to allow the user, who can add others to group, to
join the group as well irrespective of can_join_group setting.
Previously, the permission to add others (or say anyone) was
controlled by can_manage_group setting, but now it is controlled
by can_add_members_group setting. This commit fixes the code to
use can_add_members_group setting to check permission for joining
the group.
This commit also improves the tests for checking permission to
join the group such that different settings are tested in isolation.
The main change is redefining ALLOW_GROUP_VALUED_SETTINGS to not
control code, but instead to instead control the configuration for
whether settings that have not been converted to use our modern UI
patterns should require system groups.
Fundamentally, it's the same for the realm/stream group-valued
settings, which don't have the new UI patterns yet.
We remove the visual hiding of the "can manage group" setting, which
was hidden only due to transitions being incomplete.
Earlier we use to restrict admins, moderators or members of a group to
manage that group if they were part of the realm wide
`can_manage_all_groups`. We will not do that anymore and even
non-members of a group regardless of role can manage a group if they are
part of `can_manage_all_groups`.

Fixes#25942.
Users with permission to manage the group (either on the group level or
realm level) should be able to add members to the group without being
present in can_add_members_group.
Removing members will be controlled by `can_manage_group` until we add
`can_remove_members_group` in the future.
Users with permission to manage a group can add members to that group by
default without being present in `can_add_members_group`.
This commit updates backend code to not allow adding deactivated
users to groups including when creating groups and also to not
allow removing deactivated users from groups.
This commit updates code to not include deactivated users in
members list in the user groups object sent in "/register"
and "GET /user_groups" response and also in the response
returned by endpoint like "GET /user_groups/{group_id}/members".
The events code is also update to handle this -
- We expect clients to update the members list on receiving
"realm_user/update" event on deactivation. But for guests
who cannot access the user, "user_group/remove_members"
event is sent to update the group members list on deactivation.
- "user_group/add_members" event is sent to all the users on
reactivating the user.
We create an unnamed user group with just the group creator as it's
member when trying to set the default. The pattern I've followed across
most of the acting_user additions is to just put the user declared
somewhere before the check_add_user_group and see if the test passes.
If it does not, then I'll look at what kind of user it needs to be set
to `acting_user`.
We will not remove `user_group_edit_policy` yet. That will be removed
once we have introduced a user group setting to manage edit permissions
to groups.
The error response when a user group cannot be deactivated due
to it being used as a subgroup or for a setting includes details
about the supergroups, streams, user groups as well the settings
for which it is used.
Previously, if the user_group_edit_policy was set to allow
members or full members to manage the group, the user had
to be the direct member of the group being managed.
This commit updates the code to allow members of the subgroups
as well to manage the group as technically members of the
subgroups are member of the group.
This also improves the code to not fetch all the group members
to check this, and instead directly call is_user_in_group
which uses "exists" to check it.
This commit renames has_user_group_access function to
has_user_group_access_for_subgroup, since the function
is only used to check access for using a group as subgroup.
This commit refactors the code to check permission for
accessing user group in such a way that we can avoid
duplicate code in future when we will have different
settings controlling the permissions for editing group
details and settings, joining the group, adding others
to group, etc.
This commit renames "allow_deactivated" parameter in
"GET /user_groups" endpoint to "include_deactivated_groups", so
that we can have consistent naming here and for client capability
used for deciding whether to send deactivated groups in register
response and how to handle the related events.
This commit introduced 'creator' and 'date_created'
fields in user groups, allowing users to view who
created the groups and when.
Both fields can be null for groups without creator data.
We only allow updating name of a deactivated group, and not
allow updating description, members, subgroups and any setting
of a deactivated user group.
Deactivated user groups cannot be a a subgroup of any group
or used as a setting for a group.
This commit make changes in code to include can_manage_group
field to UserGroup objects passed with response of various endpoints
including "/register" endpoint and also in the group object
send with user group creation event.
Earlier there was only a realm level setting for configuring
who can edit user groups. A new group level setting is also added
for configuring who can manage that particular group.
Now, a user group can be edited by a user if it is allowed from
realm level setting or group level setting.
This commit make changes to also use group level setting
in determining whether a group can be edited by user or not.
Also, updated tests to use api_post and api_delete helpers instead
of using client_post and client_delete helpers with different users
being logged in.
This commit adds a new group level setting can_manage_group
for configuring who can manage a group. This commit only adds
the field in database and make changes to automatically create
single user groups corresponsing to acting user
which will be the default value for this setting.
Fixes part of #25928.
