A group member can delete other members even group manager from the group

Hi Everyone,

Im currently using the CE version of the passbolt. Im bit wonder with 1 issue. Im not sure if tis a bug, missing feature or something that i missed.

Im trying control the password access in the combination of folders and groups. Different group should have access to the different folders. That works fine.

In a group I can assign different role like Group Manager, Member. What I can see that Only the group manager can add new members, which make sense. A group member can not add new members, thats also fine. But im not getting it why a group member is allows to delete users from group!! even he can delete the group manager from the group!!

Is there anything that im missing?

Hello @faridul.alam,

Does this member is also an administrator of passbolt?

In that case it would be expected that this user can also remove users from a group or elect another user as group manager.

A clarification: Administrators can only add users to groups if they themselves are members of that group

No, my role is “User” and im not the Group Manager.

Im a member of the group:

but I cannot add but remove the user:

Hi Farid,
A user should not have the elipses (three dots) when you hover your mouse over the group name.
A Member of a group can see on a resource (password) who it’s also shared with.
A user/admin of Passbolt is different to a Group Manager/Member of a group.
I think that might be where the confusion is(?)
Can you confirm?

cheers

I can confirm that,

  • I don’t have three dots when I hover my mouse pointer over the group name.
  • Yes, as a member of the group I can see the shared paaawords
  • Yes, my user is a normal user in the passbolt and in the group I am only a member not the group manager
  • Im have the latest update of CE version

Any idea, whats going on?

Hi @faridul.alam,
If you click on the save button after deleting a group member, you’ll see that it is not authorized.

@Vivien You are right. Even though I have option to delete but at the end its not allowing me to delete. :slight_smile: Would be nice not to have delete option in the first palce.

You’re right. With passbolt V5 the inline edit button inside the right sidebar will be removed, so you won’t be able to see the “Edit group” dialog.
