552973 - Would be nice if Bugzilla::User::groups also marked each group returned as direct or inherited

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: User Accounts, enhancement)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

Currently Bugzilla::User::groups returns a list of Bugzilla::Group objects which does not have an attribute showing whether the group is directly granted or an inherited group.

We need to add this ability so we could see the list of groups a user is in using User.get XMLRPC call. We needed to see whether the user was in the group directly or if it was inherited so we would know now to add the user to a group if they were essentially already a member.

Adding a patch that will add the necessary attribute to show whether a group is direct or inherited.

  This is r- because right now there's nothing in Bugzilla itself that's using it, and no dependencies set that will use it.
