174097 - Can't easily determine what group IDs you're in

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

In parallel with bug 174085, where querying by groups is extremely difficult
(it's only possible to do it via "Advanced Querying Using Boolean Charts"), that
is made even *more* difficult by the fact that it is terribly difficult to
figure out what groups you are even in.  The only ways to figure that out are to
set/unset a group in a bug and check the change history, or to view source in an
attempt to find it.  Both of those methods are really unnaceptable.

We should either display the group ID numbers near the checkboxes, or make it a
tooltip:

  <span title="Group ID: [% group.bit %]">[% group.description %]</span>

groupids have gone in CVS, although I'm not sure if we did end up displaying the
names (as opposed to to the descriptions) anywhere, so that they can be used for
searching. Joel?

A list of the group memberships is available in the permissions tab of
userprefs.  Is the issue that the permissions list should include the numberic
group id?

How do I query on that group?  Does querying by group description work?  If not,
then yes I need to see the group ID.

Actually, on the trunk (landfill), it appears that querying by groups is broken,
unless I am doing something wrong...

If I enter, in a boolean chart,  
Group - In Equal To - internal

and I have a group called "internal"

I get the bugs that are in group internal.

Do you not see this or are you trying to do something else?

From IRC:  This works if the group name is used. The group id is no longer relevent.
