This still looks to be an issue: I can assign an auth method to a user that shouldn't be allowed it.
Eg. I have 2 institutions - Institution A has internal auth only - Institution B has internal auth and xmlrpc A can have a user only in Institution A being allowed to have it's auth set to xmlrpc There either needs to be a check to stop invalid auth options being assigned to a user or implement Hugh's idea that assigning a user with the auth also assigns them to the institution. The easier (and more sane from UI perspective) would be to alert admin that they are trying to assign an invalid auth type with a message something like: "you are trying to assign auth type to user from Institution X, which they do not belong to" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

When I searched for the user name under Manage Users -> User Search, the user's record under the column of Institution was still showing 'No Institution'. Although, the auth method information does show correctly on the Account settings page. The mahara version is 1.2.4. Here is Richard's reply to this issue: The problem is with the user account settings page, which basically assumes that the admin knows what they're doing, and allows you to do silly things like giving a user an auth method from an institution that she/he doesn't belong to. We should add code to stop auth methods from other institutions from showing in the auth method dropdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/568804/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
