[Hyperic-hq-discuss] Group can only be in a single role?

[Murray B. <hq-...@hy...>]

I am trying to use the same resource group in multiple roles but it seems that a group can only be associated with a single role. Once I have added the group to a role it is no longer available to be added to other roles.

What I want to do is to define a role which contains all of the resources which belong to a single customer (platforms, servers and services). I then want to create a read-only role and an administration role for these. So I make the group (abcResources) and add to it all of customer ABCs resources. Next I create two groups. One (abcMonitor) has only View access for platforms, servers and services. The other (abcAdmin) also has Create/Modify/Delete/Alerting/Control. So now I have my group with the required resources and my read-only and configuration roles.

However once I add the group (abcResources) to one role (abcMonitor) it is no longer available in the list of groups for the next role (abcAdmin). Is this supposed to work this way or am I missing something?

Thanks . . . Murray
