Unable to remove owner

Use Case

I have the following structure with permissions:

  • group [owner: user1]
    • subgroup [owner: user1, user2]
      • project [owner: user1, user2]

I want to remove user2 of both the subgroup and project.

I don't have any way to do so.

Members view of subgroup for user1:

subUser1

Members view of project for user1:

projectUser1

Members view of subgroup for user2:

subUser2

Members view of project for user2:

projectUser2

I would expect that user2 can be removed by any way (either by user2 removing himself or by user1 removing user2 and in any order subgroup -> project / project -> subgroup).

There are two similar issues but they are different:

For this issue both don't matter. I'm generally unable to remove user2 from project and subgroup.

Do I miss something?

Workaround

Proposal

  1. If only one owner is left at the the project/subgroup/group - Show the remove button greyed out and display the tooltip on hover

Text should be:

  • For groups: A group must have at least one owner. To remove the member, assign a new owner.
  • For projects: A project must have at least one owner. To remove the member, assign a new owner.

A future iteration can be to enable the "Remove member" button but open a model to assign a new owner - this would both remove the member (previous owner) and assign a new one in one action

Availability and Testing

  • No new E2E test or updates needed at this time. Please add the appropriate coverage for the new tooltip in unit and integration tests.
  • Test cases to consider:
    • Verify the tooltip displays when a group has only one owner
    • Verify the tooltip displays when a project has only one owner
    • Verify the tooltip does not display when a group has multiple owners
    • Verify the tooltip does not display when a project has multiple owners
    • Verify the tooltip does display when a group has multiple owners and they get removed one by one until only one owner is left - that is when the tooltip should appear for the remaining owner
    • Ensure to test these scenarios with direct, inherited and shared owners
