[Building Sakai] manage group with the new role problem in siteinfo (sakai 2.6)

[Kara Stiles]

Sounds like you need to add the Taa role to your !group.template, !group.template.course or !group.template.project realm (and to the group realms for the groups you already created).

In order for a user to participate in a group, they must have a role in the site realm that matches an existing role in the group realm.

See here for more info.  It's a work in progress.

Hi, Folks, 
This is what we found out recently : when you create a group for a site from siteinfo, you can't add the participant with the new role. (for example, "Taa", the new role is site specific, meaning you only added this new role id to this site's realm). From the log file, it states: 
------------------------------------ 

WARN http-8080-Processor24 org.sakaiproject.authz.impl.BaseAuthzGroup - .addUserRole: role undefined: Taa 
2009-10-28 10:52:07,534 WARN http-8080-Processor22 org.sakaiproject.site.util.SiteParticipantHelper - SiteParticipantHelper.prepareParticipants: user not defined 96c9a392-d0c0-44dc-a2fb-c77b836785a7 
-------------------------------------- 

The way to reproduce the problem: 
1. login as admin, 
2. from realm, select the site using site id 
3. add a new role id (i.e. Taa) for that site 
4. logout and login again as site maintainer 
5. assign one of the site members with this new role 
6. from siteinfo, click "manage group" 
7.click on "creating a new group" 
8..select several site members including the member with the new role from site membership list and move them(>) to group membership list 
9. click on update 
10. then come back to check the newly created group, the member with the new role is not in there. 


I have checked the existing jira issues on "groups, roles and site" and did not find any related, if anyone happened to see it, please let us know, I believe it is a bug. 

Thanks,
