User Groups Problem

Post by dougmatthews47 »

Hello,

A Problem has arisen with my user groups.
When I go to edit certain groups, the name is incorrect and I can not change or edit it.
The few groups that are doing this also do not show up in the navigation security screens to add to a menu item.
I can not add any more groups either.

i.e... I click to edit the billing group and the Group Name shows: All Users
I click to edit the All Users group and the Group Name shows: Administrators

Seems like some kind of indexing has become corrupted.
Something has gone wrong. Please Help.
I have attached some screen shots.

This data is stored in standard physical/logical files.

In your Profound UI install library, you should have a file named ATGROUPSP, this is the Atrium groups file. If you look in that, you should see all of your groups, and each one should be assigned a unique number to identify the group.

Other files in the Atrium database refer to this group by number. Files like ATUSERSP, ATNAVP, etc, etc. More info about the Atrium Database is found here:
http://www.profoundlogic.com/docs/displ ... m+Database

If I had to guess, I'd guess that somehow the group numbers for the "misbehaving" groups got inadvertantly changed. For example, someone might've gone into a database editing tool and accidentally set the group numbers to zero. (But, of course, that's just me guessing.)

Yep, Someone went in and added a couple of users to the PF without updating the ATUIDSP file.
Just need to delete and recreate the users and groups added after the Pf was updated.

ALl is good now,

Thanks
