Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66377
Pending actions / Pending roles has been dropped for domain admins
Last modified: 2016-03-26 10:05:06 UTC
Pending actions / Pending roles in project xxx (1) is listed on "My pages" for project owners only. This has changed from SC26 where domain admins where able ot to help project owners with this work.
Taking this issue and let me update my findings. Thanks, Kavitha Support Operations
Updating status whiteboard. Thanks, Karthik Support Operations
Starting..
This is the information which is present in http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/StartPage "The Pending actions section will appear on your My start page when there are items that require your attention, such as requests for membership in projects in which you have a Project owner role." Investigating further on this issue.
An internal issue has been filed to the engineers awaiting their response in this issue .
Have a explanation on the reason on why this particular option is not available any more . Looks like the query that is been run which determines what to show for unapproved actions on the start page for a user only checks to see if the logged in user has the same direct role in the project. It does not check indirect roles due to performance reasons. Domain Admins can approve roles in projects, but they will not automatically see all outstanding, unapproved roles on the site. So there is two options: 1. If the DA's know which roles they want to approve, they can navigate to the project, then click on 'Membership' in the left nav, and see the pending approvals. 2. If the necessity is that you should/must have have all unapproved roles show up on in a page, we may be able to provide a query that is accessible from a newly introduced page (in the instance set) that will show this information.However keep in mind that a query of this size on a site like Ooo could show literally thousands of roles from all the projects. For this reason, it is not an option to have this query run during login.
DAs don't know which project has open role requests. That's the point. But they know that the owner is on vacation or can remind an owner if he misses to work on the requests. There is no need to have all role requests on one page and especially not on the start page. I would be happy with an administrative page listing open projects with open role approvals, projects with open document approvals, ... Pending actions * Pending roles in project test (1) * Pending roles in project cvsroot (1) * Proposed files in project test (2) Just like it was in SC26 :-) Or even better if sorted by project...
Stefan , Your valuable feedback has been provided to the engineers . Awaiting response from the engineers.
Let's consider this an enhancement for a future version.
The reason the feature was removed is because of the resources required to generate the pending action output for Domain Admins. We realize this feature is beneficial, which is why it was introduced, but the problems with its implementation became readily apparent as the site's dataset (projects, users, roles, etc) increased. We will continue to work on returning this functionality.
This feature has been stated to be brought back in one of the upcoming release. Moving this issue into the Resolved Later queue .
Updating the target milestone
CollabNet Support is currently reviewing the issues under Resolved-Later. If the issues are fixed currently in any of the present CEE releases, then it will be marked as Resolved-Fixed. There might be a few issues which might not be in our future roadmap which might be closed as Wontfix unless it does not lie under any custom request.
Keeping it opened as for more validation
It might be considered to be implemented in CEE 5.3
Reset QA Contact to new default
This issue has no meaning on Apache OpenOffice. There are no "My Pages" and there will be no openoffice.org user registrations.
