Symptoms

Attempts to delete a non-System zone group under the WebUI Memberships and Roles tab fails with:

Failed to find group for 'GROUP:groupname': No such group

The following errors are seen in /var/log/isi_papi_d.log:

Cause

When the Application Programming Interface (API) call is made, it only attempts to look in the System Zone, so the request fails.

 

Resolution

This is addressed in OneFS version 9.7.0.0 and later versions.

To work around this issue, use the CLI:

isi auth groups delete <group> --zone=<zone>

The curl command can also be used. Replace the group and zone marked bolded below with the appropriate values:

curl -k -u root -X DELETE "https://localhost:8080/platform/14/auth/groups/GROUP:group/?zone=zone"
