Andrea Bollini closed DS-109.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: 1.5.2
Assignee: Andrea Bollini
The methods are consistent with them javadoc. They are not used in auth check,
they are only used as support for the edit group functionality
> Consistent treatment to users in special groups

> Key: DS-109
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-109
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DSpace API
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2
> Reporter: Bruc Liong
> Assignee: Andrea Bollini
> Fix For: 1.5.2
>
>
> We populate users into their groups via the use of "special groups" on the
> fly (as part of Shibboleth authN integration into DSpace) and had been
> noticing that the mapped users cannot gain access to their resources despite
> they have the aforementioned groups in the special group.
> Temporary fix for this is to persist the group membership, e.g.
> int[] groupIDs = AuthenticationManager.getSpecialGroups(context,request);
> for(int i=0;i<groupIDs.length;i++){
> Group g = Group.find(context, groupIDs[i]);
> //.....
> g.addMember(eperson);
> g.update();
> }
> This is not ideal, it would be better if the special groups are
> loaded/integrated into Group.isMember(eperson), or Group.isMember(groupid),
> etc calls. These isMember seem to be only honouring explicit users assigned
> in DB. Currently special groups only included in Group.allMemberGroupIDs and
> isMember(context,groupid).
