Enhancement Request: Mention and show that groups will be deleted when deleting Sub-Organization

Directory Server Ideas
Updated September 30, 2022
asked on September 29, 2022

When deleting a Sub-Organization from LFDS it gives a warning saying that all Accounts will be deleted that belong to the organization. I found out the hard way that this also means Groups that are assigned to the organization. Can the warning be updated to mention that?

Also, can the warning also include a scrolling list of user accounts and another scrolling list of groups that will be deleted? This would make it easier for the administrator to review in case they missed something.

Filed as LFDS Issue #397771 - "Update DeleteOrganizationConfirm string to mention that the operation also deletes groups and child orgs in addition to users".

The item proposes at minimum updating the string to:

Do you want to delete this organization and any child organizations? All users and groups that are members of these organizations will be removed from Laserfiche Directory Server.

And as a bonus parameterizing the string to be:

Do you want to delete the organization '{0}' and any child organizations? All users and groups that are members of these organizations will be removed from Laserfiche Directory Server.

Where '{0}' is the name of the selected organization.

As a second "reach" item, it proposes:

"In the Accounts->Groups UI make the existing filter also do an org property search (currently only seems to search group name) and/or add an Org filter to the UI."

Blake, what's the exact text of the warning message? If you can provide that, I can find the relevant bit of code and file a request for the string update.

Probably not going to get a scrolling list of users/groups on the warning. For users, you can run a normal User search with the Organization filter to get a list. Groups don't have an Organizations filter and probably aren't going to get one any time soon. If this is particularly important for your use case, I trust you can write a SQL query against LFDS for what is hopefully not that common of an operation. 

I want to be clear that I'm not dismissive of this enhancement request being useful. It's that the LFDS dev team is by far the most strapped for resources relative to the size of their backlog. While warning string changes are easy to update, seemingly small "quality of life" features for relatively niche use cases are not on the table in the near future.

Samuel,

That all makes sense. We all have to prioritize with what we have. Here is the message that is currently displayed. If there is anything else that is affected when you delete an Organization it would be nice to have that added to the message as well.

Since we're talking about updating the string, it would also be nice if the message referenced the name of the Organization that is being deleted in case the end user selected the wrong one.
