setting up users and groups

Classic Servoy
1

While setting up a new server with an existing solution I mis some possibilities:

  1. When I set up a complete user and usergroup system on my developer I can not export/import that to the server. Result is:
  • a lot of duplicate work
  • potential errors.

  1. While working on all those forms, elements and tables (my solution grows and grows) I miss the possibility to check and uncheck ALL for a certain property/activity.

  2. When I check a property of a table I have to confirm that for every table. This is a lot of extra work/mousemovement. Can’t we have a confirm button on exit?

  3. I need overrideable dialogs. Example: There is a usergroup that is not allowed to delete. Now, to begin with, when I have a method for that, the user first gets my message and then he gets the message he is not allowed to do so. The first one I can catch, the second one I don’t want to catch (saves me a lot of programming) but I would like to change the text into dutch. Possible?

reaction on 1.

Users are not exported to the new server! This is a fine way, because on a other server you (can) have different users.
Groups (with the right sequrity) ARE exported to the new server.
(Use 1.2 final! because in earlier releases this was a bug!)
’
The only thing you have to do is add a new user and link it to a group!
no duplicate
no errors at all.

I agree where it concerns the users!

But working with version 1.2 on the linux server and my apple developer versions I haven’t seen any export of usergroups.

I did a fresh install of the server today so I would have expected that but with no result!

did you have securities attached to the groups?
If you have no security attached to a group, the group is not exported.

OK, that could be the case. Had not put any energy in that ‘activity’ yet…
