If I understand this right, my grouper daemon is v2.3 patch 80, but my ui frontends are running api v2.3 patch 39 and ui v2.3 patch 32.

I haven't touched our Grouper stuff in a while... :)

Thanks,
Andy

What version of grouper do you use and what patch levels? We can fix this
pretty easily if you like... as a workaround you can adjust those database
fields if you like...

Aha, the error message was misleading! Here is more of the stack trace:

2018-07-23 11:19:54,612 WARN api.GuiObjectBase: Cant find creator of:osu :

So it was actually failing to resolve the subject that last modified the
group. Digging in with SQL shows:


SQL> select name, creator_id, MODIFIER_ID from grouper_groups where id =
'd32649c748ec4cb19e489b0ab5656f8f';

hagimotk


I understand now why I'm seeing this error. As one of our former Grouper
admins, hagimotk will be the modifier for many groups.

What are the options for dealing with this? Find all occurrences and
"fix" them? Stop removing subjects from the subject source? :)

It would be nice if the error message did not mislead me by using
"creator" in its wording.

Thanks,
Andy

Can you select the row from grouper_groups and see if the auditing member ids
(creator_id, modifier_id) are still the old user (they should still have a
row in grouper_members by
"id"). If you want to open a bug with that info we can fix that for you

Thanks
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Error: "Cant find creator of ..."

One of our Grouper admins left the university a while ago, and we recently
deleted her account from LDAP as part of our account lifecycle. We
removed her Grouper memberships, but she had direct privileges on a few
groups. I ran the USDU to remove those as well.

Even after running USDU, I'm seeing this curious error message in the UI
log when I view the Members or Privileges tab of specific group:

2018-07-23 11:19:54,612 WARN api.GuiObjectBase: Cant find creator of:osu :
org : is : app : box : temp eligible
edu.internet2.middleware.subject.SubjectNotFoundException: No results:
searchSubject filter:(uid=%TERM%) searchValue: <username-redacted>


However, when I view "More" in the UI for the group, it says:

Creator: Lomax, Erica (lomaxe)


(lomaxe is still a valid account, not the person that left).

Where is the "creator" in the error message coming from?
